[00:00] <daftykins> :)
[00:00] <regedit> ok then
[00:00] <Bashing-om> regedit: Linix terminal command ' sudo fdisk -lu ' and look at the disk size . Is 1 way .
[00:00] <regedit> Bashing-om: thanks! will try that
[00:01] <EriC^^> regedit: you'll want sudo parted -l cause you're converted to gpt now
[00:01] <regedit> oh
[00:02] <explosive> .
[00:03] <Bashing-om> regedit: Yeah, 'fdisk' will not handle GPT partitioning .
[00:03] <regedit> sudo mkdosfs /dev/sdc -s 16 -F 32
[00:03] <regedit> ^ looks right? ^
[00:04] <ObrienDave> wouldn't gparted be much safer?
[00:04] <snkcld> whats the difference between --setprovideroffloadsink  --setprovideroutputsource
[00:04] <snkcld>  ?
[00:04] <EriC^^> regedit: why the -s 16?
[00:05] <regedit> EriC^^: copy pasted from askubuntu... i'm new at this as you can tell
[00:05] <regedit> ObrienDave: oh, ok, le'me look that up. thanks
[00:05] <daftykins> yeah not sure why you're using CLI if not comfy :) gparted is your buddy
[00:06] <B0g4r7> Normally you make FSs on partitions, not whole devices.
[00:06] <EriC^^> regedit: wait, did you make a partition first?
[00:06] <regedit> EriC^^: the drive is currently NTFS and has the windows installation files, but not booting
[00:06] <ObrienDave> that's a different issue
[00:06] <regedit> EriC^^: make a partition - where / what about?
[00:07] <snkcld> also, when i use a proprietary nvidia driver (eg 352), i have issues with copy paste sometimes. why would the display driver touch the copy/paste of x?
[00:07] <EriC^^> regedit: how'd they get there?
[00:07] <regedit> EriC^^: this is the drive i'd like to use as the source for installing windows
[00:07] <EriC^^> hmm O.o
[00:07] <regedit> i.e. the install usb drive
[00:07] <EriC^^> i don't know much about that
[00:07] <regedit> there is another internal drive that's supposed to be the destination
[00:08] <EriC^^> ok, are you following any guide?
[00:09] <daftykins> he's following the suggestion of this crazy daftykins fellow
[00:09] <daftykins> sorry he/she
[00:09] <regedit> EriC^^: for now daftykins
[00:09] <regedit> :D
[00:09] <EriC^^> :D
[00:09] <ObrienDave> *smh* ;P
[00:09] <regedit> i am a troglodyte
[00:10] <EriC^^> regedit: ok, well you have to make an efi partition of the type ef00
[00:10] <EriC^^> regedit: use gparted to make some unallocated space preferrably at the end of a partition cause it's easier and faster
[00:11] <daftykins> EriC^^: hrmm this is just the windows 8 ISO contents, it'll boot if just pasted onto a flash drive formatted as FAT
[00:11] <daftykins> (or at least i'm led to believe)
[00:11] <EriC^^> then type sudo cgdisk /dev/sdX, and make a partition with that space, using the hexcode ef00
[00:12] <EriC^^> daftykins: ah i see
[00:14] <regedit> whoops network dropped again, stupid qwebirc
[00:14] <regedit> i'm in gparted and dont mind deallocating the whole drive in question
[00:15] <regedit> should i do that?
[00:15] <regedit> so i dont actually format the EFI stuff inside gparted?
[00:15] <EriC^^> daftykins: so wait, is he making an efi partition right now?
[00:15] <EriC^^> or just fat?
[00:15] <daftykins> just FAT sir
[00:15] <EriC^^> oh ok
[00:15] <regedit> ok so in gparted i'll format the whole drive to FAT (16 or 32?)
[00:16] <EriC^^> yup fat32
[00:16] <daftykins> assuming you already copied off the windows disc contents to the HDD? :>
[00:16] <regedit> ye i have it on yet another extarnal drive
[00:17] <regedit> ok done, now copying over the files...
[00:21] <regedit> alright then, i guess all that's left now is to try booting into it, and hope that if it fails i still get to boot into ubuntu live...
[00:21] <daftykins> unmount it cleanly
[00:22] <regedit> i should unmount the FAT32?
[00:22] <daftykins> ja
[00:22] <stevendale> umount /dev/sdX
[00:22] <EriC^^> should he set the boot flag or it's unnecessary cause it's efi?
[00:22] <daftykins> after finishing copying
[00:22] <daftykins> shouldn't matter, but it may depend on the specific machines EFI implementation
[00:23] <regedit> did kubuntu eject
[00:23] <Vainglory> where would i get apparmor help?
[00:23] <regedit> alright here goes... if i dont come back, its either very good news or very bad news. if i come back soon, its bad news
[00:23] <regedit> :D
[00:23] <stevendale> Vainglory: The IRC channel is #apparmor on irc.oftc.net
[00:23] <ObrienDave> hope for good luck ;p
[00:24] <stevendale> Source: http://wiki.apparmor.net/index.php/Main_Page
[00:26] <TJ-> boot flag only applies to MBR, and some BIOS ignore it or require something more such as bootstrap code signature
[00:26] <TJ-> UEFI looks for the GUID of an ESP, which is usually - but doesn't have to be - the first FAT12/16/32 partition
[00:28] <stevendale> "Recent versions of parted enable you to type disk_toggle pmbr_boot on GPT disks to toggle the MBR boot flag on and off." http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/bios.html
[00:29] <TJ-> stevendale: Yes, that can help in hybrid installations because parted usually only does one or the other
[00:29] <EriC^^> TJ-: so he should set the whole fat to have the ef00 hex code?
[00:29] <daftykins> i sense someone is going for the google award today
[00:30] <EriC^^> TJ-: or all fat partitions have the same guid?
[00:30] <TJ-> EriC^^: "ef00" isn't really anything to do with GPT, it's something used by gdisk tools to represent the true GUID of an ESP... but yes, the ESP partition is set to 0xEF00 in those tools
[00:31] <dongerino> How can I remove all files in a directory except one folder and it's contents?
[00:31] <EriC^^> TJ-: ok, so if the uefi is to boot it the extracted iso he made, does he need to set it to ef00?
[00:31] <dongerino> I installed ubuntu on my sda7 first, then onto sdb1, and ade sda7 my home, but forgot to format
[00:32] <dongerino> so theres another ubuntu install in my /home folder
[00:32] <dongerino> they are protected files and I can't rm them
[00:32] <TJ-> EriC^^: The Globally Unique IDentifier is a 16-byte value and there are several defined for different purposes.
[00:32] <ubuntu-mate> hello world
[00:32] <dongerino> ey m8
[00:33] <stevendale> !offtopic
[00:33] <EriC^^> TJ-: what sets it?
[00:33] <TJ-> EriC^^: Yes, the partition needs marking as an EFI System Partition (ESP) so the the firmware know to search it for the UEFI boot loaders
[00:34] <uio> Hi all. I have 1gb ram and sometimes the machine just freezes (or almost) in high CPU usage (I think) such that the only way out is hard power-off. Any ideas on alternative ways to solve this issue. For example, last time I visited chesscademy.com, it just froze....
[00:34] <EriC^^> TJ-: ok
[00:34] <daftykins> uio: sounds like you have no swap.
[00:34] <TJ-> EriC^^: The partitioning tool will. In the case of the gdisk tools when you specify 0xEF00 it'll actually use the GUID for an ESP, which is C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B
[00:34] <stevendale> ^
[00:34] <EriC^^> TJ-: oh ok, i see
[00:35] <uio> daftykins: Hmmm. How might I check it?
[00:35] <daftykins> uio: free -m
[00:35] <uio> daftykins: swap shows 0            0              0...
[00:35] <stevendale> uio: You can follow this guide here to create a swap file: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04
[00:36] <TJ-> EriC^^: The 0xEF00 came from extending the single-byte MBR fdisk type codes to double-bytes and then mapping the resulting doube-byte values as close as possible to the MBR values to help people recognise the related/same types in both partitioning schemes
[00:36] <EriC^^> dongerino: you could open a terminal, type gksu nautilus, and then browse to your /home and delete the files you don't want, also press ctrl+h if there are any hidden files too
[00:36] <daftykins> uio: yep so you don't have one by the sounds. also: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and paste the link to us
[00:37] <EriC^^> TJ-: i see
[00:37] <uio> daftykins: Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean...
[00:37] <TJ-> EriC^^: A good list of GUIDs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_type_GUIDs
[00:37] <uio> stevendale: Thanks... I am reading it right now !
[00:37] <EriC^^> TJ-: thanks
[00:37] <daftykins> uio: commands to run
[00:39] <daftykins> uio: the given link provides bad advice btw.
[00:39] <uio> daftykins: Good to know! What would you suggest...
[00:39] <daftykins> what i pointed out above
[00:39] <daftykins> open a terminal and run the command i shared
[00:40] <uio> daftykins: I ran the command
[00:40] <daftykins> ok follow my above instruction
[00:40] <uio> daftykins: It is showing errors...
[00:41] <daftykins> can i buy a vowel?
[00:41] <nuzarman> ok
[00:41] <daftykins> or could you mention said errors...
[00:41] <uio> daftykins: ha!
[00:41] <uio> daftykins: linux-image-3.16.0-40-generic is not configured..
[00:41] <stevendale> uio: sudo apt-get -f install
[00:41] <daftykins> ugh alright so you've got package fun
[00:42] <uio> daftykins: linux-image-generic-lts-utopic is not configured
[00:42] <uio> stevendale: Thanks! What will that do...
[00:42] <daftykins> yes i saw.
[00:43] <stevendale> uio: APT will try to correct any package dependency errors automatically
[00:44] <uio> daftykins: Oh  - before this continues, and likely the source of the problem. (sorry it slipped my mind) I'm using lubuntu.... so I guess I should just leave for the other channel, or is this the same for both ?
[00:44] <stevendale> uio: There's #lubuntu
[00:44] <daftykins> carry on, it's all covered
[00:46] <uio> daftykins: Should I paste all the errors?
[00:46] <daftykins> you're taking advice from one user and trying to supply it to another
[00:46] <daftykins> s/it/the result/
[00:46] <daftykins> your current command was from stevendale, you can provide output to him/her :)
[00:46] <uio> daftykins: no, I mean for the one you gave me.
[00:47] <daftykins> no longer relevant, keep working with stevendale ^
[00:47] <uio> stevendale:  I ran the command you gave me and then the one from daftykins again. Still errors.
[00:49] <stevendale> uio: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.16.0-40-generic

[01:26] <ObrienDave> wow, and so it begins again *sigh*
[01:39] <ex0r> TJ-, Are you here?
[01:39] <TJ-> ex0r: just about; about to go to bed it's 0239 here
[01:39] <ex0r> TJ-, I just wanted to say thank you for the help earlier
[01:40] <ObrienDave> ex0r, how did it go?
[01:40] <ex0r> I ended up just reinstalling ubuntu
[01:40] <ex0r> removed 15 and reinstalled 14.04
[01:41] <ObrienDave> well now you can do-release-upgrade and get back to 15.04 eventually
[01:41] <TJ-> x0r did you fix it?
[01:41] <TJ-> ex0r: Ha! good solution :)
[01:45] <microm> Is enemy territory still available? I don't see it in synaptic
[01:45] <microm> and it seems it was uninstalled from my system
[01:46] <ObrienDave> microm, it's in PlayDeb, i think
[01:46] <leonic> hello i am in a live version and  i installl chromiun but it crashed a lot  any idea why
[01:47] <Bashing-om> leonic: Running out of ram ?
[01:47] <ObrienDave> live version is meant to sample the OS
[01:47] <ObrienDave> and install
[01:48] <leonic> that explain it  but a don't have a hard drive at the momen  only a sd of 8 Gb
[01:49] <ObrienDave> you can install to the sd card. i have several like that
[01:50] <ex0r> ObrienDave, - No thanks, I didn't really find any benefit of 15
[01:50] <ex0r> tbh
[01:50] <ex0r> wait people still play enemy territory?
[01:51] <ObrienDave> ex0r, i prefer the LTS anyway. don't have to worry about 6 month release cycles :)
[01:51] <ex0r> shouldn't 15 be lts?
[01:51] <ex0r> Or is it every two years?
[01:51] <ObrienDave> every 2 years
[01:51] <leonic> ObrienDave,  do you mean install ubuntu in the sd can you give a link
[01:51] <ObrienDave> 16.04 will be LTS
[01:52] <ex0r> I wonder how much it'll change from 14
[01:52] <ObrienDave> leonic, how are you running the live OS?
[01:52] <ex0r> I want to play enemy territory now
[01:52] <ex0r> I haven't played that in like 10 years
[01:53] <ObrienDave> ex0r, i wouldn't know. i'm on Xubuntu, i have a 3 year cycle
[01:53] <leonic> installed in the sd car i have a usb adapter
[01:53] <ex0r> ooh what's the difference between kubuntu ubuntu and xubuntu ?
[01:54] <ObrienDave> the desktop environment mostly
[01:54] <leonic> i made it bootable whit yumi i have mint and puppy but for some rason puppy don't load
[01:54] <ObrienDave> k = kde  x = xfce
[01:55] <ObrienDave> leonic, if you have another sd/usb stick, you can use the current live system to install to the other device
[01:56] <conan> good night, someone could help me on this issue? " I'm on the latest Linux Mint release on an Acer Aspire S3. Unfortunately  I can't set the screen brightness in the Screen preferences. It doesn't  matter which position the slider has, it's always the same brightness.  Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to set the brightness? "
[01:56] <ObrienDave> !mint | conan
[01:57] <OerHeks> mint has its own issues
[01:57] <ex0r> oh, and ubuntu uses its own?
[01:57] <leonic> conan use xrandr
[01:57] <microm> error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:58] <leonic> how mouch space ubuntu need to install
[01:58] <leonic> 4 Gb o more
[01:58] <microm> I must have removedd 386 libraries by accident last week thinking I did not need them, how do I get them back?
[01:58] <regedit> EriC^^ ? dayangkun ?
[01:58] <ObrienDave> leonic, 4GB minimum
[01:59] <ObrienDave> 8GB is better
[01:59] <regedit> well well well, some things have finally gone right this time round :)
[01:59] <ObrienDave> \o/
[01:59] <leonic> i guess 4Gb whiot libre office
[02:00] <ObrienDave> leonic, yes you would need an 8GB or better
[02:00] <regedit> i am able to boot to windows and to ubuntu
[02:00] <ObrienDave> \o/
[02:00] <EriC^^> regedit: by dayangkun you mean daftykins?
[02:01] <regedit> EriC^^: heya :D oh i guess so
[02:01] <leonic>  iguees ai need  other pc to do it  becasus my other sd adpter does not boot
[02:01] <leonic> it work but dont boot  i am using the camera to run the live version
[02:01] <ObrienDave> yes making it bootable is a good thing :)
[02:01] <EriC^^> regedit: ok, that's great that windows is booting and so is ubuntu
[02:01] <regedit> EriC^^: i would really love to record the lessons learned here: what were those magic GPT steps you made me do, and why did they help (along with the FAT32 windows install drive with the EFI files)
[02:02] <conan> Personal, sorry. I am using ubuntu-mate and the problem is the same as described for LinuxMint. Display brightness always at 100%
[02:02] <ex0r> hmm
[02:02] <ex0r> it seems enemy territory wont install
[02:03] <EriC^^> regedit: well uefi can't be installed in legacy(msdos) partition tables, it might have helped if windows decides to install in legacy if it finds a msdos partition table, anyways the command was sudo parted -l to get the disk then sudo gdisk /dev/sdX , then press "o" then "w"
[02:03] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireS3
[02:04] <histo> conan: I have to boot using acpi_backlight=vendor and acpi_osi=Linux to fix my backlight brightness
[02:04] <ObrienDave> ex0r, http://www.playdeb.net/game/Enemy%20Territory
[02:04] <histo> conan: perhaps try that in your /etc/default/grub  and sudo update-grub after the changes
[02:04] <EriC^^> regedit: i think what you did with daftykins was made fat32 partition and copy all the files over, the command is mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sdxY
[02:04] <EriC^^> *sudo mkfs.fat
[02:04] <ex0r> hmm I tried using the .run installer that is on the official site
[02:05] <EriC^^> regedit: after you create a partition first using gparted
[02:05] <ex0r> and that one doesnt seem to work
[02:05] <ex0r> says package unavailable
[02:05] <ObrienDave> ex0r, go through playdeb ppa
[02:05] <__Myst__> Hi guys
[02:05]  * ex0r researches
[02:05] <__Myst__> I'm having issues with my wi-fi connection
[02:05] <__Myst__> I'm on a b43xx wifi chip, and I've tried multiple fixes
[02:06] <__Myst__> disabling ipv6, disabling f-something, etc...
[02:06] <ObrienDave> !broadcom
[02:06] <__Myst__> nothing works
[02:06] <__Myst__> ObrienDave: Did you even read what I said? None of that worked
[02:06] <regedit> EriC^^: i think i did both partitioning and fat32 formatting within gparted
[02:06] <EriC^^> regedit: oh ok
[02:07] <ObrienDave> __Myst__, you did not mention you tried the factoid link ;P
[02:07] <OerHeks> which bcm43xx exactly?
[02:08] <conan> histo: I used this command line and not decided: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux"
[02:08] <__Myst__> ObrienDave: Factoid link?
[02:09] <__Myst__> OerHeks: bcm4311 iirc
[02:09] <__Myst__> how do I check again?
[02:10] <ex0r> woohoo ill be playing me some ET pretty soon!
[02:10] <HiGregS> is there  a gui for kernel modules? Something that handles multiple installed kernels perhaps?
[02:10] <ex0r> and I love this playdeb!
[02:10] <__Myst__> OerHeks: BCM4331
[02:12] <TJ-> HiGregS: what do you mean, what do you want to do? the kernel has a gui configuration tool
[02:12] <HiGregS> see what module versions are installed, update, downgrade, blacklist, etc.
[02:13] <__Myst__> sgh
[02:14] <TJ-> HiGregS: Modules in the file-system are under "/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/" there's no GUI wrappers around the command line tools for manipulating the kernel settings
[02:14] <histo> conan: k did it work?
[02:14] <BUITRE> voy por el mundo volando y buscando ayuda=ubuntu
[02:15] <lotuspsychje> !es | BUITRE
[02:15] <HiGregS> TJ-, seems like a good project for an interested developer (gui kernel module tool)
[02:15] <conan> histo: Não, coloquei de acordo a linha de comando que te passei. viu?
[02:15] <conan> histo: No, according put the command line that you spent.We saw?
[02:16] <TJ-> HiGregS: I can't think of any kernel developer that would swap command-line for a GUI
[02:17] <HiGregS> It's pretty horrendous trying to navigate all the tools (plus directory modifications for blacklisting).
[02:18] <BUITRE> lotus; tanks but i dont know how and where to select any option, my english is not well and i dont understand many words i'am 59. let's try to in english, do you want to help or anybody else .
[02:19] <TJ-> HiGregS: blacklisting for loading kernels? Just entries in "/etc/modprobe.d/"
[02:19] <lotuspsychje> BUITRE: we surely want to help, can you describe your problem please?
[02:20] <histo> conan: what?  edit the default grub file then sudo update-grub
[02:21] <HiGregS> TJ-, sure! but there are about a dozen "just ..." for each individual function. And each of the 7 or 8 programs are a (small) learning curve. Would be nice for a gui to list the installed modules, be able to select a drop down (enable, disable, blacklist, etc.). And install from file, list available ones, etc.
[02:22] <TJ-> HiGregS: That's not so much a kernel issue, that's a distro issue for the userspace tooling
[02:23] <BUITRE> i have installed a version of ubuntu and at this time experience an ¿overflow? i mean the processor speed go up and is working at 99% of it capacity and the system is very slow, i never seen it beefore
[02:23] <ObrienDave> ex0r, the main page is http://www.getdeb.net
[02:23] <lotuspsychje> BUITRE: ubuntu version?
[02:23] <TJ-> HiGregS: It's done so infrequently no one has felt it so annoying as to want to write a GUI for it... but it's open source ... feel free to write a tool :)
[02:23] <ex0r> ObrienDave, - I got it going :)
[02:23] <ex0r> now just to wait forever for it to install >.<
[02:24] <ObrienDave> cool :)
[02:24] <TJ-> ex0r: same here... building a bisect kernel image :)
[02:24] <BUITRE> well; the base is ubuntu but the name is voyager x
[02:24] <ex0r> not sure what that is >.<
[02:24] <HiGregS> TJ-: I agree with your sentiment. It's surprising that it hasn't annoyed anyone else (gui kernel module tool)
[02:25] <snkcld> this is very strange. when i run nvidia-352, and i copy text in chrome, my tab freezes
[02:25] <BUITRE> lotus
[02:25] <snkcld> even when i run bumblebee, and i do _not_ run nvidia on chrome, it _still_ happens
[02:25] <lotuspsychje> BUITRE: im sorry mate, we can only support ubuntu
[02:25] <snkcld> but if i run nouveau, its perfectly fine
[02:25] <conan> histo
[02:25] <conan> conan
[02:26] <histo> conan: ?
[02:26] <snkcld> why would the graphics driver be intefering with the clipboard?
[02:27] <lotuspsychje> snkcld: bumblebee is outdated, use nvidia-prime instead
[02:27] <histo> snkcld: maybe chrome is the issue?
[02:27] <snkcld> isnt nvidia-prime differnet though, in what it effectively does?
[02:27] <lotuspsychje> snkcld: is your card optimus?
[02:27] <snkcld> yes
[02:27] <snkcld> gtx 860m
[02:27] <lotuspsychje> snkcld: then you need nvidia-prime package
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | snkcld
[02:28] <snkcld> when i used prime etc, no bumblebee, this still happens
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> snkcld: in combination with wich driver?
[02:28] <snkcld> 352
[02:28] <snkcld> but i tried 346 too iirc
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> snkcld: did yiu enable performance mode in nvidia-settings?
[02:30] <snkcld> yes
[02:30] <snkcld> the copy paste is specificallythe problem
[02:30] <snkcld> performance was perfect
[02:31] <lotuspsychje> snkcld: could be not related sure, just pointing your optimus
[02:31] <BUITRE> lotus ; do you know how to ? ... well before start is appear  the name ubuntu not voyager, thanks anyway... i'am mexican.
[02:33] <cfhowlett> !es | BUITRE
[02:33] <lotuspsychje> BUITRE: if you install ubuntu we can help you, but voyager live x isnt supported here sorry
[02:35] <lotuspsychje> Flannel: tnx
[02:36] <snkcld> even with nvidia-prime though, i dont understand why copy paste would hit video drivers?
[02:36] <reisio> ?
[02:36] <lotuspsychje> snkcld: i didnt said it was related mate, but worth a try to install needed things for your optimus card right?
[02:37] <histo> snkcld: why do you assume it's related to copy and paste?
[02:39] <regedit> :( seems even konversation can't save me from a simply bad wifi connection...
[02:39] <regedit> did i miss anything EriC^^
[02:39] <EriC^^> nah
[02:39] <snkcld> i saaid that cause it happens when i copy text
[02:39] <EriC^^> !wifi
[02:40] <regedit> EriC^^:  i was asking "...So this gdisk thing, why was it necessary? What did it do which finally helped everything be EFI? And what does "GPT" whatever that is have to do with it?"
[02:40] <regedit> so many questions
[02:40] <TJ-> snkcld: any clues in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" ?
[02:41] <EriC^^> regedit: i told you already
[02:41] <EriC^^> regedit: well uefi can't be installed in legacy(msdos) partition tables, it might have helped if windows decides to install in legacy if it finds a msdos partition table, anyways the command was sudo parted -l to get the disk then sudo gdisk /dev/sdX , then press "o" then "w"
[02:42] <regedit> so it does something about legacy(msdos) partition tables?
[02:42] <EriC^^> regedit: gpt is a partition table type, like msdos, except it's newer and can have a lot more primary partitions and have bigger partitions (+2TB)
[02:42] <snkcld> nothing
[02:42] <snkcld> in fact, i tried ot copy that text from the chrome tab, and the tab froze
[02:42] <EriC^^> and it's used with uefi
[02:42] <snkcld> and it never made it to my clipboard
[02:43] <EriC^^> regedit: that command makes a fresh gpt partition table, you had a msdos one
[02:43] <regedit> EriC^^: how might one opt for that kind of partitioning configuration if only in Windows world (without gdisk) ? Or does that force usage of lageacy(msdos) partition tables
[02:44] <TJ-> regedit: Disk drives usually have data written to them in multiple partitions. Those partitions are defined in a partition table at the start of the disk. Originally 4 partitions were thought to be sufficient and were stored in 64 bytes in the first sector (of 512 bytes) called the Master Boot Record (MBR). Later we needed more partitions on a disk and introduced Extended Partitions where MBR could chain several partition tables together. That got to be a mess, so
[02:44] <TJ->  GUID Partition Table design was introduced which addresses all the shortcomings and stores its data in a different place on the disk. The MBR tools on Linux are fdisk and its variations, for GPT its gdisk and companions, plus parted and gparted and so on
[02:44] <EriC^^> regedit: you can have gpt partitions in windows, i think the command diskpart in windows can let you do that, not sure
[02:45] <histo> EriC^^: true
[02:45] <regedit> EriC^^: ahh ok makes sense
[02:45] <EriC^^> you can make partitions and format them with that command, not sure if you can make a new partition table too
[02:45] <regedit> and TJ- that was awesome thanks!
[02:46] <TJ-> regedit: The UEFI standards require a disk to use GPT and to have a special partition (the EFI System Partition - ESP) containing all the boot-loaders, drivers, and tools (such as the UEFI shell) that the motherboard firmware will need/use
[02:46] <regedit> ahaa i see... things are starting to make sense now
[02:47] <regedit> might there be a "for noobs" wiki page explaining all this? i could really have used it just 2 days ago... then again i could have just googled for it a bit more...
[02:48] <regedit> so back in msdos land, i had like, 1 partition per partition. But once I started installing windows after configuring GPT, suddenly there was like whoa 4 partitions already; System something, EFI something, something something, and only then my actual partition
[02:48] <TJ-> regedit: To provide backward compatibility a disk can have both MBR (in sector 0) and GPT (in sector 1) on the same disk. This is usually called a GPT disk with Hybrid or Protective MBR
[02:48] <regedit> interesting
[02:48] <regedit> i wonder if I did that? or is it all GPT now
[02:49] <EriC^^> you have a protective mbr
[02:49] <TJ-> regedit: Microsoft went overboard with their allocation of partitions when they adopted GPT - not sure why, it was mostly unnecessary
[02:49] <EriC^^> it's so that some other os that doesn't recognize gpt doesn't think your disk isn't partitioned and tries to partition it
[02:50] <ObrienDave> gpt can have 128 partitions iirc
[02:50] <TJ-> regedit: The different between a hybrid and Protective MBR is, the latter has 1 partition defined which covers the entire disk so that tools that don't know about GPT partitions will think the entire disk is already in use and won't try to create MBR partitions that would wipe out existing data
[02:50] <snkcld> is htere anywayi can have copy paste handled by some other service?
[02:50] <TJ-> Whoops! we overloaded regedit with data :)
[02:51] <histo> !partition | regedit
[02:51] <ObrienDave> poor regedit ;P
[02:51] <TJ-> histo: regiedt quit a couple minutes ago
[02:53] <EriC^^> !partition | ubottu: !partition |
[02:53] <EriC^^> i had to see if ubottu would explode
[02:53] <regedit> wait what happened, didnt realize i got disconnected
[02:53] <regedit> i was yappin on
[02:54] <powersurge> hey, I'm on an xps 13 and I'm suffering from a problem where after a while all touches on my touchpad are registered as clicks
[02:54] <powersurge> I found a reference here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(2015)#Touchpad to my issue but I'm having trouble sussing out what I actually need to do to fix it
[02:54] <powersurge> do I need to use the 4.1 kernel to fix it?
[02:54] <TJ-> regedit: The different between a hybrid and Protective MBR is, the latter has 1 partition defined which covers the entire disk so that tools that don't know about GPT partitions will think the entire disk is already in use and won't try to create MBR partitions that would wipe out existing data
[02:55] <cfhowlett> powersurge, device specific trouble is best solved via the OEM, i.e. Dell
[02:55] <powersurge> well, I found a solution, I think, I'm just having trouble digesting it
[02:55] <TJ-> regedit: Hybrid MBR allows use of the other 3 primary MBR partitions to map directly onto 3 of the GPT partitions (using the same starting sector number and quantity of sectors) so that both MBR and GPT tools can 'see' those 3 partitions.
[02:56] <Bashing-om> regedit: TJ-'s most excellent tutorial on booting : https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/#a_bootloader .
[02:56] <TJ-> Bashing-om: I'd  forgotten I wrote that!
[02:56] <regedit> TJ-: knowledge overflow :p
[02:57] <ex0r> grr et wont load :(
[02:57] <regedit> so does any of this explain why i dont have BIOS setup anymore?
[02:58] <TJ-> regedit: BIOS was replaced by UEFI but its' all firmware on the motherboard - just they implement different public interfaces (APIs) that the boot-loaders need to talk to
[02:59] <TJ-> regedit: UEFI adds a lot of powerful extensibility such as being able to load device drivers before the operating system is started which is especially useful for *big* server systems
[02:59] <regedit> TJ-: so for example how might i switch Virtualization now that i converted to UEFI?
[03:00] <EriC^^> TJ-: he had installed windows in uefi mode, then ubuntu but the installer told him windows was in legacy mode, so he tried installed both in legacy then came here, i hold him to make a fresh gpt and then install windows, daftykins extracted the iso on a fat32 and everything worked out well
[03:00] <TJ-> regedit: enable the VT extensions of the CPU, you mean? On AMD they should be enabled by default. On Intel CPUs the firmware should provide an option to do that
[03:00] <regedit> ^ my entire day accurately reduced to a nutshell
[03:00] <TJ-> EriC^^: yeah, I saw the bootinfo output, looked like a bit of a mix up somewhere
[03:01] <EriC^^> so i guess the question is, does windows decide to install in legacy mode if it finds the disk has a msdos partition table? i know if you boot in uefi it should install in uefi.. so.. i dont know if making a gpt helped, or daftykin 's iso extract or ....
[03:01] <regedit> TJ-: well until now i used to switch it on in BIOS, what do i do now?
[03:01] <EriC^^> that's what regedit wants to know
[03:01] <snkcld> how can i go about figuring out where a window "is" as far as processing, if its frozen?
[03:01] <snkcld> is that what apport does? when X sees that a window doesnt respoind, apport generates a trace?
[03:02] <regedit> and ^ what EriC^^ said
[03:02] <TJ-> regedit: UEFI should still provide a Setup menu - in many firmwares you can barely tell the difference between BIOS and UEFI although some desktop motherboards have a GUI based Setup
[03:02] <TJ-> regedit: Usually you press F2 or similar at power-on, the screen should show a hint as to what key to press
[03:02] <regedit> TJ-: i cant seem to reach this setup menu anymore :( used to be Fn+F2, which now does nothing
[03:03] <TJ-> regedit: What make/model is the PC?
[03:03] <regedit> TJ-: Fn+F12 would always show BIOS boot menu. currently still works, except the additional option to go to bios setup - disappeared!
[03:03] <regedit> TJ-: Lenovo IdeaPad U410 (non Touch)\
[03:04] <TJ-> regedit: Did you enable Fastboot? If so, I believe there's a special sequence in Windows to disable that so you can enter Setup again
[03:05] <TJ-> regedit: have you read page 39 of the user manual?
[03:05] <TJ-> gone again!
[03:06] <TJ-> In case I've gone when regedit returns, from the manual: "To start the BIOS setup utility:" "Press the Novo button and then select BIOS Setup."
[03:07] <TJ-> regedit: from the manual: "To start the BIOS setup utility:" "Press the Novo button and then select BIOS Setup."
[03:07] <ex0r> grr you need 32 bit linux to play ET
[03:08] <regedit> connection keeps dropping...
[03:08] <ObrienDave> no, you need to install multiarch support
[03:08] <TJ-> ex0r: Ubuntu is multilib now; if the system is installed as 64-bit you can install the 32-bit libraries as well to support 32-bit processes
[03:08] <ObrienDave> ex0r,
[03:08] <regedit> TJ-: i dont remember there being an option about that, it was a very minimal phoenix bios setup
[03:08] <ex0r> TJ-, thats what im doing right now but not sure what libraries it needs.
[03:08] <ex0r> ObrienDave, - how do I do that? sudo apt-get install multiarch ?
[03:08] <ObrienDave> !multilib
[03:09] <TJ-> ex0r: run "ldd /path/to/executable"
[03:09] <regedit> TJ-: no mention of speed bootup or anything like that that i can remember
[03:09] <ObrienDave> !multiarch
[03:09] <ObrienDave> i cant remember, been so long since i did it LOL
[03:10] <ex0r> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch
[03:10] <ex0r> now to find out what libs et needs from 32 so I can install them
[03:10] <regedit> TJ-: actually the manufacturer did publish a BIOS fix to "fix BIOS not being accessible after using windows recovery" which might be relevant. I did try installing it in the past and failed, but then again i didnt have UEFI/GPT setup correctly either...
[03:11] <Ben64> ex0r: what is et
[03:11] <ex0r> enemy territory
[03:12] <TJ-> regedit: Ahhhh... now that is sounding more like it ... bug in the firmware. Can you install that update now you've repaired Windows?
[03:12] <regedit> am i the only one being dropped from freenode all this time?...
[03:13] <Ben64> ex0r: googling enemy territory linux .... the first link is how to get it working on ubuntu
[03:13] <Ben64> regedit: you're quitting
[03:13]  * TJ- giggles
[03:13] <ObrienDave> ex0r, sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
[03:13] <ObrienDave> sudo apt-get update
[03:14] <ObrienDave> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:14] <ObrienDave> then install ET
[03:14] <ObrienDave> or run it. it should work then
[03:14] <ex0r> will give that a try.. thank you! I forgot about this game
[03:15] <regedit> so what if my wifi is unstable? just hold on another few seconds...
[03:17] <juanito> gday guys, got an ipv6 related question, I have a box at linode and they send RA with a gateway at fe80::1 it works sweet on the default config
[03:17] <juanito> if i add fe80::1 to one of the interface on the box this ra is then skipped
[03:17] <juanito> does anyone has an idea ?
[03:27] <TJ-> juanito: That makes sense. The routing table will route to your local interface if you give it fe80::1
[03:27] <regedit> TJ-: so uh, any clues about my BIOS setup?
[03:28] <TJ-> regedit: Ahhhh... now that is sounding more like it ... bug in the firmware. Can you install that update now you've repaired Windows?
[03:29] <TJ-> regedit: I think you've got update the firmware to fix it
[03:29] <juanito> TJ-: mmm why would it route it to local interface ?
[03:30] <juanito> fe80 is link-local
[03:30] <juanito> so the scope of the interface only right ?
[03:30] <juanito> the ra comes from the interface eth0 so it should be added
[03:30] <juanito> actually if i had the route manually it work
[03:30] <juanito> add
[03:30] <TJ-> juanito: correct, but on the PC the routing table will only contain 1 entry for that destination
[03:32] <tomhardy_> hey all... i'm looking for a bittorrent program that's good.. i hate both transmission and deluge.   Transmission because it doesn't have anyway to add local peers, and lacks many options, Deluge because it just crashes all the time.
[03:32] <tomhardy_> Utorrent on osx and windows is excellent. are there any other alternatives for ubuntu.. i don't mind if they are command line based.. just needs to have lots of options
[03:32] <Ben64> tomhardy_: you should just figure out why deluge is crashing
[03:32] <juanito> TJ-: what do u mean the ra i receive should add it , if i remove the fe80::1 from an other interface then it reappears again
[03:33] <ex0r> and no that didnt fix it
[03:33] <ObrienDave> reboot?
[03:36] <regedit> TJ-: dayum this is my wifi bad luck day. i was linking this list look for BIOS http://support.lenovo.com/sg/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-u-series-laptops/ideapad-u410?c=1
[03:38] <TJ-> regedit: That looks like the fix: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/bios_readme_u310_u410.txt
[03:38] <TJ-> regedit: The update for Windows 8, not the one for Windows 7
[03:38] <TJ-> regedit: version 65CN99WW
[03:42] <kostkon> tomhardy_, qbitorrent. Great option. You can add its ppa to keep it up-to-date.
[03:42] <tomhardy_> nice.. i'll check it out
[03:42] <tomhardy_> kostkon: does it have lots of options? and command line?
[03:42] <kostkon> tomhardy_, GUI is similar to Utorrent's
[03:43] <kostkon> tomhardy_, i'm guessing yes for both
[03:43] <tomhardy_> sweet, local peers is the thing i need the most
[03:43] <tomhardy_> :)
[03:43] <regedit> TJ-: yep that is the exact BIOS up that's not behaving right
[03:44] <regedit> did you get my message about how it installs? *
[03:44] <regedit> BIOS *update
[03:44] <TJ-> regedit: No I didn't
[03:44] <regedit> this is where i got it from http://support.lenovo.com/sg/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-u-series-laptops/ideapad-u410?c=1
[03:45] <TJ-> regedit: Yes... i got that and sent you 3 messages about it
[03:45] <TJ-> regedit: version 65CN99WW
[03:45] <TJ-> regedit: That looks like the fix: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/bios_readme_u310_u410.txt
[03:46] <regedit> yes i took the Windows 8.1 x64 version, is that not the same?
[03:46] <TJ-> regedit: Yes... did it install?
[03:46] <regedit> i run it, it immediately seems to try flashing without any confirmation, immediately restarts the system (without asking!..), power cycle occurs, and then nothing - black screen
[03:47] <regedit> until i give up and hard reboot
[03:47] <regedit> and pray the system isnt fried
[03:48] <TJ-> regedit: OK, that's certainly not correct. Since you reinstalled Windows have you installed *all* the Lenovo specific drivers too? I bet 1 of those is needed to access the firmware to upgrade it
[03:50] <TJ-> regedit: OK, that's certainly not correct. Since you reinstalled Windows have you installed *all* the Lenovo specific drivers too? I bet 1 of those is needed to access the firmware to upgrade it
[03:50]  * TJ- rolls eyes
[03:51] <HoloIRCUser3> Is there an easy way to tether my cell phone to 14.04?
[03:52] <regedit> TJ-: actually not yet, will try. Are youuuu on for much longer today/night?
[03:52] <HoloIRCUser3> I Friedlander earlier but that didn't work
[03:52] <TJ-> HoloIRCUser3: Network Manager allows you to create a "Wireless (shared)" or "Wired (shared)" connection
[03:52] <HoloIRCUser3> Tried planet
[03:52] <TJ-> regedit: it's 04:53 and I'm off to bed :)
[03:52] <HoloIRCUser3> TJ cool
[03:53] <regedit> TJ-: alright, thanks a ton for all the help!
[03:54] <TJ-> regedit: OK, that's certainly not correct. Since you reinstalled Windows have you installed *all* the Lenovo specific drivers too? I bet 1 of those is needed to access the firmware to upgrade it
[03:54] <regedit> TJ-: actually not yet, will try
[03:54] <HoloIRCUser3> Anyone have a good link that describes the process?
[03:55] <regedit> TJ-: so like, without chipset or video driver the BIOS flash wont work?
[03:55] <genewitch> i need a desktop application that tries to read files and display any image files it finds in a grid or slideshow
[03:55] <TJ-> regedit: I'd bet one of those packages contains motherboard specific drivers to access the firmware interface
[03:56] <regedit> i somehow doubt it, since earlier today i did have most drivers installed (including chipset) and the flash still didnt go
[03:56] <regedit> but ill try
[03:56] <TJ-> regedit: Look in the Windows Event Log for clues as to why it crashes
[03:56] <genewitch> ...
[03:56] <jeeves_moss> has anyone been able to install spotify on x86 hardware?  I've added the repo, did the update, but it can't find the package
[03:57] <regedit> some of those lenovo packages are broken BTW, dont extract/install correctly etc...
[03:57] <TJ-> regedit: That doesn't sound good
[03:58] <regedit> TJ-: might chipset directly from Intel be better than the one offered by manufacturer?
[04:06] <TJ-> regedit: have you seen this? http://support.lenovo.com/sg/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-u-series-laptops/ideapad-u410/documents/HT101636?tabName=Solutions
[04:13] <regedit> TJ-: oh cool, does an equivalent exist for linux/ubuntu?
[04:13] <TJ-> regedit: The OS reboot-into-setup? No, I doubt it, although I bet it just flips a couple of bits in the firmware nv-ram
[04:14] <regedit> TJ-: no i mean a way to view bios version
[04:14] <EriC^^> dmidecode
[04:14] <EriC^^> sudo dmidecode
[04:14] <regedit> TJ-: also, by step 10 on that page, it used to say Setup, now that option has disappeared
[04:16] <regedit> version is 65CN13WW, thanks EriC^^
[04:18] <TJ-> regedit: to view firmware version without tools you can also do: dmesg | grep DMI
[04:19] <regedit> hm indeed
[04:20] <TJ-> regedit: good luck with that, I'm off for a final kernel test before sleep
[04:20] <regedit> k rebooting to windows to try and flash that bios
[04:20] <regedit> cheers TJ-thanks again
[04:34] <lost> would anyone be interested in teaching me some tips and tricks ?
[04:38] <BuzzardBuzz> lost, what would you like to learn today?
[04:39] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: yes im always looking to learn some stuff
[04:40] <lost> im on youtube learning how to exploit android using metasploit now
[04:41] <BuzzardBuzz> sounds like your learning some neat things today
[04:41] <lost> im going to install kali on a flash tonight also so i can have it available because i use ubuntu normally
[04:42] <BuzzardBuzz> recently i used transmission to get kali and have not had time to install it yet
[04:43] <lost> i like to do things colabotativly tho i like it when if i dont understand i can ask someone i dont have many people i can ask about this stuff
[04:43] <BuzzardBuzz> you should get a fast download speed for that
[04:43] <lost> i was thinking of just making it a bootable usb for kali
[04:44] <BuzzardBuzz> have you tried using virtual machines instead for learning
[04:44] <OerHeks> please, kali is not supported here
[04:44] <OerHeks> !kali
[04:44] <lost> well im planning to get a better connection soon me and my gf are moving in toghether
[04:45] <lost> im only using kali here i was just talking about getting kali thats all
[04:45] <lost> oops sorry im only using ubuntu sorry
[04:45] <MCSH> Hi, I'm getting kernel panic on ubuntu 15.04. Can someone help me?
[04:46] <BuzzardBuzz> you get the panic with a live boot media?
[04:46] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: i have yes  ive used virtual
[04:46] <OerHeks> MCSH, pastebin some details
[04:47] <lost> my fave distro is ubuntu but kali i just want as a bootable usb so i have it ready to use
[04:47] <MCSH> I can't.  The system freezes. The GUI won't respond at all. And if it happens that I'm in tty for some reason I see a stack trace of hex numbers
[04:48] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: what is your fav distro
[04:49] <MCSH> I can't.  The system freezes. The GUI won't respond at all. And if it happens that I'm in tty for some reason I see a stack trace of hex numbers
[04:49] <MCSH> Sorry for duplication,  my connection was lost for a moment
[04:50] <BuzzardBuzz> have you gotten no panic using different settings for the boot in the past with this machine?
[04:50] <OerHeks> MCSH, there should be a log, /var/log/syslog or dmesg
[04:51] <OerHeks> !pastebinit
[04:51] <MCSH> OerHesks, I'm aware but as soon as I log in everything freezes.
[04:52] <lost> if i want to find specific files how do i do that through terminal
[04:52] <lost> ls
[04:52] <BuzzardBuzz> list files
[04:53] <lost> like if i want to find my syslog how do i find the exact location
[04:57] <BuzzardBuzz> lost try this -> sudo tail -n 100 -f /var/log/syslog
[04:58] <BuzzardBuzz> lost: inside the terminal you will see things happening
[04:58] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: what does this do?
[04:58] <BuzzardBuzz> lost: you see the stuff added to your logs as it happens
[05:00] <lost> what does it do?
[05:00] <MCSH> OerHeks I tried to pastebinit from recovery but I don't have Internet access.  I tried enabling it but still no luck using ifconfig
[05:01] <BuzzardBuzz> lost: it displays logged information into the terminal window
[05:01] <lost> oh
[05:03] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: what do you think the top 10-20 cmds i should know?
[05:03] <nabn> anyone using gnome on ubuntu? how can i configure it so that i can alt-tab between windows only on the current workspace?
[05:03] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: is there a cmd to check the temp of cpu-gpu ?
[05:04] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: if so is there a cmd to make the fan speed higher and stuff like that ?
[05:04] <BuzzardBuzz> there are some packages to hepl with hardware monitoring
[05:05] <BuzzardBuzz> i prefer gui operation and less command line things
[05:05] <lost> could you teach me how to do a remote shutdown?
[05:06] <BuzzardBuzz> like using a webadmin type remote connection like for a server
[05:06] <nabn> lost: if you can ssh into the machine, i suppose you could issue a 'sudo poweroff'
[05:06] <cloud2332> ubuntu app center does not let me download Wine, any ideas why?

[05:15] <lost> cloud2332: ive been playing with linux for about a year now but im very ambitious becaus ei was a windows user and hated it lol
[05:15] <BuzzardBuzz> you just need to get vnc servers running on the computers that need controlling
[05:15] <Lurchy> evening all

[05:16] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: do you know how to set up a at home botnet i have 3 other computers i wanna make do some stuff maybe even have them at my moms and play with them from my house
[05:16] <cloud2332> lost: I agree I left Windows and now I have left Mac liking Linux a lot more just wish I could figure why it is not allowing me to download Wine. need to open a Windows program for school.
[05:17] <lost> cloud2332: do u use terminal much?
[05:17] <BuzzardBuzz> what are the operating systems for the 3 other computers that need to be under your control
[05:18] <Lurchy> whats the command to post on the clipboard again?  I need some help setting static IP on a new ubuntu install
[05:18] <cloud2332> lost: just started last Thursday. trying to figure it out, learning to program for school
[05:18] <BuzzardBuzz> install vnc server software on each and use vnc client on your ubuntu machine
[05:18] <Lurchy> once I update interfaces file...whats command to restart my network again??
[05:18] <Lurchy> "reload network" gives me error
[05:18] <Lurchy> ...
[05:18] <lost> cloud2332: did u add repository?
[05:19] <nabn> lost: if you do a 'sudo poweroff' in your terminal, it shuts your computer down. SSH-ing is remotely accessing a computer from another over a network. Do a bit of googling on how to do this, there are plenty of resources. here's one: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-ssh-to-connect-to-a-remote-server-in-ubuntu
[05:19] <cloud2332> lost: what is that? I read in the forums that wine would open the exe file so that I could run the program.
[05:20] <lost> nabn:thank you
[05:21] <Lurchy> once I update interfaces file...whats command to restart my network again??
[05:21] <BuzzardBuzz> lost: using ssh you can also use vnc from your house to your moms to control other computers
[05:23] <lost> BuzzardBuzz: thank you i just looked some stuff up about sshing
[05:23] <BuzzardBuzz> you are very welcome :)
[05:25] <Ben64> cloud2332: open terminal, type "sudo apt-get install wine"
[05:26] <lost> Ben64: i think he needs repository also
[05:26] <Ben64> no
[05:26] <lost> oh ok
[05:26] <B0g4r7> wine should be in the default repo(s)
[05:27] <BuzzardBuzz> im surprised wine is not on the preinstalled list for the distro
[05:27] <Ben64> it shouldn't be
[05:27] <cloud2332> I am clueless cause it won't let me download it from the app center, message say no connection
[05:27] <B0g4r7> It's quite friggin large.  Installing by default would consume quite a bit.
[05:27] <Ben64> cloud2332: run the command i suggested
[05:28] <BuzzardBuzz> how large is it?
[05:28] <cloud2332> ben64: trying now.
[05:28] <B0g4r7> I'm BuzzardBuzz IDK offhand, but I'd say over half a gig.
[05:28] <BuzzardBuzz> wow, i can remember when it was alot smaller
[05:29] <lost> well the ppa is "ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa"
[05:29] <cloud2332> ben64: I typed and it came back with command not found
[05:29] <Ben64> pastebin the full command and error
[05:30] <B0g4r7> I'm pretty impressed by wine.  It runs a lot more stuff than I had expected it to.
[05:30] <Ben64> cloud2332: also, what are you trying to run with wine
[05:30] <cloud2332> a program called Raptor Flowchart
[05:30] <lost> sudo add-apt-repository install ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa   is this how this would go?
[05:30] <MCSH> Guys I think I solved my problem by un installing a druver, but I'm getting login loop.... what should I do
[05:31] <Ben64> lost: stop worrying about the ppa
[05:31] <cloud2332> ben64: did you say to type something else on the command line?
[05:31] <Ben64> cloud2332: pastebin the full command and error
[05:32] <lost> Ben64: im not worring . im just new to linux and since i found the ppa i wanted to know if i was correct with how i wrote it out
[05:32] <lost> cloud2332: check this
[05:32] <lost> cloud2332: https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
[05:32] <Ben64> lost: stop confusing stuff
[05:33] <cloud2332> ben64: sorry new to the command line, don't know how to write the command now
[05:33] <Ben64> lost: the ppa is not necessary, and it is very important to know the problem before suggesting unsupported 3rd party repositories
[05:34] <Ben64> cloud2332: you said you typed it, and "it came back with command not found", please copy+paste the full command and error that you got into pastebin.com or a similar service
[05:34] <cloud2332> lost: yes I have been there. it forces me to download it from the app center then it fails with a message of check your internet connection but I am on the internet
[05:34] <BuzzardBuzz> http://askubuntu.com/questions/314362/ubuntu-13-04-login-loop
[05:34] <BuzzardBuzz> there is a solution for the login loop on the previously posted page
[05:35] <lost> Ben64: im not suggesting it i was asking if that was how it would be learning
[05:35] <BuzzardBuzz> thope that helps your issue
[05:35] <Ben64> lost: you're definitely suggesting it, please stop

[05:35] <lq> hello. I have done some work for nvidia tegra on my ubuntu host. During installation, armhf architecture has been enabled in apt and now i get 404 errors during apt-get update because trusty-security and backports does not have armhf packages. How do i solve such issues in general? Or do I have to live with the 404's?
[05:36] <lost> Ben64: your rude and i really dont care what you think because first of all i know that i dont know much about whats going on so how about you just do what your doing and stop worring about me
[05:36] <Ben64> lost: then stop confusing people with irrelevant information
[05:36] <MCSH> That didn't helped but thanks. BuzzardBuzz. I think it's a driver issue. I'll try un installing nvidia

[05:43] <dtscode> It came with the vps

[05:47] <lq> Lurchy: actually I dont know :) I do not show up here very often. I just upload it manually to paste.ubuntu.com

[05:50] <Lurchy> thats the right one
[05:50] <Ben64> cloud2332: what took you to a grey screen
[05:50] <BuzzardBuzz> so you dont want to just use the network-manager?
[05:50] <Lurchy> but when I try to ifup/ifdown...give me error
[05:50] <lq> Lurchy: I dont know about ubuntu server, but normally network manager does network stuff and might interfere
[05:51] <lq> Lurchy: if thats the case, you can either disable it or start using it
[05:51] <cloud2332> ben64: the download of wine. it is a screen that at the top is written configuring ttf-mscorefronts-installer
[05:51] <Lurchy> forgive me guys...novice with ubuntu
[05:51] <mach20x> ok, so somehow my 105gb partition got filled with junk I was able to use bleachbit to clear about 16gb's and emptied the trash for another 6gb's but I am still at a lost to account for the rest.
[05:51] <Lurchy> taking the plunge :-)
[05:51] <BuzzardBuzz> well network manager works well with static ip stuff but of course you dont have to use it
[05:52] <Lurchy> well...I edited my inteface file...dont i have to restart networking on ubuntu server?
[05:52] <Ben64> cloud2332: it might take a bit to get all the stuff it needs
[05:52] <B0g4r7> Lurchy, what error is given?
[05:52] <Lurchy> ifup/ifdown....no?
[05:52] <BuzzardBuzz> you want to restart the networking service
[05:52] <Lurchy> one sec..lemme try again
[05:52] <B0g4r7> down, then up.
[05:53] <lq> Lurchy: I am not sure but I think that because of networkmanager your interface file can be ignored.
[05:53] <cloud2332> b82nd
[05:53] <Lurchy> buzzard....wont a restart accomplish that?
[05:53] <cloud2332> ben64: how do I I ow when it is done?
[05:53] <BuzzardBuzz> yes it will]
[05:54] <Ben64> cloud2332: you can probably look at the terminal window to see what its doing
[05:54] <lq> so you either disable network manager and continue your way or start using network manager to do this static ip

[05:55] <neetzz> xangua: ubottu  Oh what's the alternate ?

[06:06] <Lurchy> ive been looking :-P
[06:06] <BuzzardBuzz> i have done this many times in the past myself
[06:07] <BuzzardBuzz> because i dont always use network manager myself
[06:07] <Lurchy> well if this was client..then not problem...but server seems to be challenging

[06:09] <Lurchy> buzzard...it has same method i am using....
[06:09] <Lurchy> let me look again
[06:10] <BuzzardBuzz> how many internet adapters are you using inside your server?
[06:10] <BuzzardBuzz> ethernet not internet
[06:10] <Lurchy> just the one
[06:11] <BuzzardBuzz> so you are not doing any nat; what kind of server aer you wanting to have?
[06:11] <cloud2332> bben64: wine is installed now having trouble opening the program with wine
[06:11] <Lurchy> lamp/fileserver/openremote...etc

[06:12] <Ben64> cloud2332: yeah not every program works with wine
[06:13] <cloud2332> ben64: ah I see well thank you very much for the help I got further than I have before
[06:16] <BuzzardBuzz> how did you determine your gateway ip address
[06:17] <BuzzardBuzz> can you ping it from the server?
[06:17] <Lurchy> from the windows computer I am using....
[06:17] <Lurchy> cmd line....ipconfig output
[06:18] <Lurchy> ping the gateway?
[06:18] <Lurchy> or the ubuntu server?
[06:18] <mach20x> I'll be back in a bit and repost the link to my rkhunter output, hopefully someone knows of a fix, maybe I can use a live CD to repair?
[06:18] <lq> ping gateway from server
[06:19] <BuzzardBuzz> did you try this -> sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.50 netmask 255.255.255.0
[06:19] <Lurchy> i can ping gateway just fine
[06:19] <Lurchy> yeah
[06:19] <Lurchy> i did that
[06:19] <Lurchy> just rebooted...seeign if it sticks
[06:19] <BuzzardBuzz> did you get the correct ifconfig results
[06:19] <BuzzardBuzz> dont reboot that wont stick
[06:19] <lq> you can ping gateway from server? what is the problem then? It is not persistent?
[06:19] <Lurchy> settings didnt stay
[06:20] <BuzzardBuzz> to get it to stick you need the file to be accepted as usable
[06:20] <BuzzardBuzz> so when you reboot then it will stick
[06:20] <regedit> hello, what are my chances for flashing a CAP file to my bios? using the manufacturer's Windows Installer fails... any Linux-side hacks possible?
[06:20] <lq> Lurchy: down the interface, then set it up and post any errors and "ifconfig" output

[06:21] <Lurchy> and i can ping the gateway

[06:27] <lq> you can put both. but 8.8.8.8 will work alone too

[06:28] <Lurchy> ok..done
[06:28] <BuzzardBuzz> if you wanted to use dns bufferring for your server
[06:28] <Lurchy> reboot?
[06:28] <detach-> just so you are aware... if you have what your ISP gave you, try them if 8.8.8.8 fails
[06:28] <Lurchy> ok

[06:31] <Lurchy> dont I have to flush something?
[06:31] <Lurchy> flush dns...and refresh?
[06:31] <Lurchy> sorta like ipconfig /renew on windows
[06:31] <BuzzardBuzz> rebooting should have flushed it good enough i would think
[06:32] <rick_> hi all, I am trying to build linux kernel and put it on my ubuntu box, when I run 2d test or x11perf, sometimes it hang without any kernel output to console, what can I do to know what happens when kernel freeze?
[06:32] <BuzzardBuzz> can you ping the gateway ?
[06:32] <lq> Lurchy: first you need working network, then take care of nameservers.
[06:32] <BuzzardBuzz> what does ifconfig say?
[06:33] <neetzz> lq:  any solution ?
[06:33] <lq> Lurchy: we need ifconfig output after reebot and log
[06:33] <lq> neetzz: i was thinking - can't we bypass your problem? I mean, are you sure you need this package?
[06:33] <lq> neetz: are you following any specific instructions from web?
[06:33] <Lurchy> one sec
[06:34] <neetzz> lq:  yes i need it :/
[06:34] <lq> neetzz: I mean, maybe you can use something else on 14.04
[06:34] <neetzz> lq:  nah , i tried that but didn't work
[06:34] <linuxuz3r> http://www.twitch.tv/ps4playin
[06:34] <neetzz> lq:  that's why want the same package
[06:34] <Lurchy> eth0 doesnt show up
[06:34] <Lurchy> down?
[06:35] <Lurchy> wtf
[06:35] <BuzzardBuzz> lurchy, just a hint, now you are finding out why i just install network-manager and not mess with the files
[06:35] <Lurchy> "cant read interfaces file"
[06:36] <Lurchy> buzzard...correct me if I am wrong.....network manager is not installed in server....
[06:36] <Lurchy> only in client
[06:36] <BuzzardBuzz> all you need to do is install it and set it up though
[06:36] <lq> neetzz: what about kvm-ipxe? would that do the trick? :P maybe the software you want to use is obsolete now
[06:37] <BuzzardBuzz> it works fine if you do that
[06:37] <BuzzardBuzz> but you do not have to do it that way
[06:37] <neetzz> lq:  it worked , but what is ipxe ?
[06:38] <neetzz> lq:  i mean what does 'i' stand for
[06:38] <lq> neetzz: i dont know anything about this topic, I'm just trying to help with package management :D the ipxe was just a guess. Maybe they have renamed the package or something. Im not sure if it will work for you tho
[06:39] <Lurchy> ok...fine
[06:39] <Lurchy> network manager...bot isnt that a gui??
[06:39] <Lurchy> err but
[06:39] <lq> Lurchy: you can use it in command line too through "nmcli" tool
[06:39] <BuzzardBuzz> are you needing gui-less server interface?
[06:39] <neetzz> lq: thanks dude
[06:40] <lq> neetzz: no prob. check whether if really works :P
[06:40] <BuzzardBuzz> if so then network-manager is not an option for you
[06:41] <Lurchy> buzzard....im just frustrated
[06:41] <neetzz> lq:  haha ;)
[06:41] <Lurchy> command line non gui
[06:41] <neetzz> Btw does anyone has a link fo Game of Thrones Season 5 10th episode ?
[06:42] <Lurchy> neetz....its on the netalready
[06:42] <Lurchy> neetz....its on the net already
[06:42] <neetzz> Lurchy:  link bouy
[06:42] <xangua> google
[06:42] <neetzz> Lurchy:  i ain't finding any downloadable link
[06:42] <neetzz> nor in torrents :(
[06:43] <neetzz> appreciate the help
[06:43] <Lurchy> neetz....its in torrents
[06:43] <Lurchy> but shouldnt speak of such things here I think
[06:44] <BuzzardBuzz> auto eth0
[06:44] <BuzzardBuzz> iface eth0 inet static
[06:44] <BuzzardBuzz> address 192.168.0.50
[06:44] <BuzzardBuzz> netmask 255.255.255.0
[06:44] <BuzzardBuzz> gateway 192.168.0.1
[06:45] <Lurchy> ?
[06:45] <BuzzardBuzz> is this inside your interfaces file?
[06:45] <Lurchy> yep
[06:45] <BuzzardBuzz> then that is not your issue
[06:45] <BuzzardBuzz> your reboot lets you ping the gateway now?
[06:46] <Lurchy> no...drops eth0
[06:46] <BuzzardBuzz> what does your ifconfig output say?
[06:46] <BuzzardBuzz> and the syslogs info
[06:47] <Lurchy> only shows lo
[06:47] <dtscode> B0g4r7: If you are still there, would sudo apt-get upgrade upgrade my kernel?
[06:47] <Lurchy> not eth0
[06:47] <Lurchy> when i do a ifdown...gives me error about not being able to read my interfaces file
[06:48] <lq> dtscode: i think it will, if one is available for your distro
[06:49] <BuzzardBuzz> so your file looks good but does not work, maybe typo in your file?
[06:49] <Lurchy> nah...triple checked
[06:49] <dtscode> lq: thanks
[06:49] <lq> dtscode: if you really want a newer kernel, you can try this out: http://www.wikihow.com/Update-Ubuntu-Kernel
[06:50] <dtscode> ill certainly try that out
[06:50] <BuzzardBuzz> so when you start the network service you get an error message then
[06:50] <ikonia> that looks like a virtual machine kernel
[06:51] <Lurchy> ahh wait...says to remove dhcp?
[06:51] <ikonia> dtscode: why are you trying to change your kernel ?
[06:51] <lq> dtscode: but have in mind that its experimental stuff :P
[06:51] <Lurchy> hmmm
[06:51] <ikonia> are you running on a vm ?
[06:51] <ubuntu103> dtscode: dist-upgrade
[06:51] <ikonia> it is not that simple
[06:51] <Lurchy> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[06:51] <ikonia> do not blindly try to change your kernel - more so if you don't know what platform you are on
[06:51] <BuzzardBuzz> it only should say static
[06:52] <BuzzardBuzz> iface eth0 inet static
[06:53] <ikonia> dtscode: it looks like you are running in an container or virtual guest of some sort
[06:53] <ikonia> that kernel is a redhat kernel commonly supplied to virtual platform providers
[06:53] <ikonia> do not try to change it
[06:55] <BuzzardBuzz> you found the google magic to fix it, cheers :)
[06:56] <Lurchy> well...trying
[06:56] <Lurchy> lets see
[06:57] <dtscode> ikonia: ok... thanks for the tip
[06:57] <Lurchy> argg!!
[06:57] <Lurchy> this is so frustrating
[07:01] <BuzzardBuzz> let us hope that you endure the learning process long enough to figure it out.
[07:02]  * Lurchy hopes also
[07:02]  * Lurchy pulls hair out
[07:03] <ikonia> Lurchy: what's the problem ? you're just making self pity noises
[07:03] <pramod> hello
[07:03] <mach20x> Anyone have an idea on my course of action for correcting this output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11717949/   ??
[07:03] <Lurchy> setting static ip in ubuntu server is a pain
[07:04] <lq> ikonia: he is trying to setup networking on ubuntu server 14.04 using interfaces file and resolv.conf
[07:04] <ikonia> mach20x: ignore rootkit hunter
[07:04] <ikonia> that is the correct course of advice
[07:04] <Ben64> mach20x: i see nothing requiring correction
[07:04] <Lurchy> ikonia...http://paste.ubuntu.com/11717919/
[07:04] <Lurchy> now when i do ifconfig...eth0 is not there...only lo
[07:05] <ikonia> so that means it can't see your network card
[07:05] <ikonia> so you're totally wasting your time
[07:05] <Lurchy> apparently
[07:05] <Lurchy> Im not knowledgeable enough to know what I am doing wrong
[07:06] <ikonia> has your network card even been seen by ubuntu
[07:06] <Lurchy> tried ifdown eth0 command but get "cant read interfaces file"
[07:06] <Lurchy> yes....fresh install
[07:06] <Lurchy> dhcp worked fine
[07:06] <ikonia> first question - is this ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server
[07:06] <Lurchy> when I went into to edit interfaces file to set static...now wont work
[07:06] <Lurchy> ubuntui server
[07:07] <ikonia> ok - put your interfaces files back to how it was - reboot and get your network interface back
[07:07] <ikonia> then move forward from a stable point
[07:07] <ikonia> at the moment you are wasting your time
[07:07] <mach20x> My graphics is causing issues where I have to hardware reboot the machine, the screen freezes and doesn't allow for any user input from mouse or keyboard
[07:08] <ikonia> that doesn't sound like graphics
[07:08] <ikonia> that sounds like a kernel panic
[07:09] <Lurchy> one minute ikonia
[07:09] <Lurchy> now wont work when i reset back to dhcp
[07:09] <Lurchy> fuq it.....reinstall from scratch
[07:10] <Lurchy> be right back in 5 minutes
[07:10] <liquidee> lol
[07:10] <liquidee> this is the unregged channel, right?
[07:10] <ikonia> no
[07:11] <liquidee> good
[07:12] <liquidee> do you think it is a good idea to mark all ubuntu repo mirrors in /etc/apt/sources.list with [arch=amd64] ? I have armhf arch enabled in apt for which it is trying to fetch from standard repos generating a 404.
[07:13] <liquidee> It certainly works but I'm wondering whether there wont be any problems with 32 bit packages. What is the recommended solution? Do i have to simply bear the 404's?
[07:14] <ikonia> liquidee: say that again please, I'm not sure I follow what you're actually asking
[07:15] <liquidee> ikonia: I have amd64 comp with ubuntu 14.04 installed. I have also enabled armhf architecture in apt. Therefore, when doing "apt-get update" i get a lot of 404's. It tries to fetch index for armhf from standard ubuntu repositories, which do not exist
[07:15] <Lurchy> well..this dual core 3.0 with 8gb of ram should work decent with this ubuntu server i hope
[07:16] <ikonia> Lurchy: why have you done that ?
[07:16] <ikonia> Lurchy: sorry not you
[07:16] <ikonia> liquidee: why have you done that
[07:16] <ikonia> liquidee: you're not running on arm, so why are you trying to enable the arm repos ?
[07:16] <mach20x> ok, so I have 8gb's of ram, the kernel is apparently panicking my linux partition is getting overloaded by I don't know what else... I've cleaned out a lot via Bleachbit, yet still have about 50+gigs locked up in the system
[07:16] <liquidee> ikonia: im working with tegra board, the host software fetches packages for the board and installs them remotely
[07:16] <ikonia> liquidee: that is not how it work
[07:16] <ikonia> works
[07:17] <liquidee> ikonia: i didnt enable the arch myself. This is just my explanation :)
[07:17] <ikonia> disable it
[07:17] <Lurchy> here is a dumb question....but what flavor of ubuntu should I install? openssh server?  or manual?  I want to make a lamp server...but also run open remote....and a video camera ssystem
[07:17] <ikonia> you are not running an arm arch
[07:17] <ikonia> Lurchy: there is no such  flavour as openssh server
[07:17] <ikonia> or "manual"
[07:17] <ikonia> what is the real question ?
[07:18] <Lurchy> at ubuntu install screen...options are to install core...and others software
[07:18] <ikonia> Lurchy: install ubuntu desktop
[07:18] <ikonia> Lurchy: from an ubuntu desktop CD
[07:18] <Lurchy> this si server
[07:18] <ikonia> use the desktop
[07:18] <ikonia> you'll find it much easier
[07:18] <Lurchy> this is server
[07:18] <ikonia> use the desktop
[07:18] <ikonia> you'll find it much easier
[07:19] <Lurchy> I am putting desktop on my other rig.....this is for webpage and other stuff in my networked home
[07:19] <ikonia> right
[07:19] <ikonia> so use the desktop
[07:19] <ikonia> you don't need a "server" install for that
[07:20] <Lurchy> I appreciate your recommendation....but I am going to go the server route
[07:20] <ikonia> why ?
[07:20] <ikonia> why are you making it harder for yourself ?
[07:20] <Lurchy> guess I am stubborn...want to learn server command line
[07:20] <ikonia> you can use the command line on the desktop
[07:21] <ikonia> you clearly don't understand what you are doing - so why don't you follow peoples advice, and then you can actually learn
[07:21] <ikonia> rather than make a problem and complain endlessy that nothing works as you have been doing
[07:21] <ikonia> there is nothing wrong with running server functionality on an ubuntu desktop install
[07:22] <ikonia> it's a great platform to learn but has a better setup to get up and running quickly and undo any issues you may make, and has tools to help you learn
[07:22] <Lurchy> thanks ikonia.....but I prefer to set this machine up without gui and telnet into it
[07:23] <ikonia> you have no idea what you are doing
[07:23] <Ben64> telnet :|
[07:23] <Lurchy> ssh
[07:23] <ikonia> and that last comment just proves it
[07:23] <ikonia> you can disable the X11 gui
[07:23] <ikonia> but it's nice to have it installed / available should you need it
[07:23] <Lurchy> no shit dude.....instead of being condecending...
[07:24] <Johnny_Linux> you take ikonia  wrong, ikonia  knows whats going on, good advice.
[07:24] <Johnny_Linux> D`oh!
[07:42] <ibj> How can I install Wine in Ubuntu 14.04.2 trusty? It depends mesa drv utopic and if I continue its installation will wreck my Ubuntu installation. This happened to me yesterday...
[07:44] <m57> hi all, I compiled a quick program, basically a ptrace call to "ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, 0x1, 0)" why does it work on other machines but on ubuntu i get (from strace) "ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, 0x1, 0)       = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)"
[07:45] <m57> this should onyl really fail if someone is debugging the process i assume
[07:45] <m57> but is there some kernel hardening or something i am not aware of
[07:45] <Ben64> ibj: pastebin the full command and any errors you're getting
[07:46] <Lurchy> for those of you who were helping..thanks...figured it out
[07:47] <Lurchy> "sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0"  and putting nameservers in networking file did the trick
[07:48] <liquidee> Lurchy: wth was wrong last time then
[07:48] <axino> m57: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features#ptrace
[07:48] <Lurchy> dunno
[07:48] <Lurchy> perhaps....since I didnt encrypt home dir this last time?
[07:49] <Lurchy> reinstall and no encryption of home dir
[07:49] <Lurchy> now....installation of openssh
[07:49] <Lurchy> so I can yank this video card out of system and stick server in my data closet
[07:50] <ibj> Sorry it doesn't depend mesa drv utopic. Yesterday I installed Wine and Virtualbox in Ubuntu 14.04 and after the reboot I couldn't login to desktop. no video and no lightdm . everything was black
[07:50] <S2pid> any one knows about eggdrop
[07:51] <Lurchy> S2pid in mirc???
[07:51] <S2pid> yes
[07:51] <Lurchy> what about them...usually operate with an in channel command
[07:51] <S2pid> i amtrying to install in my vps
[07:51] <Lurchy> ahh
[07:52] <S2pid> but its showing some error
[07:52] <Lurchy> been awhile sinc eI installed one....year actually....it was part of the custom script I was using
[07:52] <Lurchy> err years
[07:52] <Lurchy> what error?
[07:52] <S2pid> its showig tcl
[07:53] <S2pid> error
[07:53] <S2pid> i already install tcl and other thing but still
[07:53] <Lurchy> tcl is a type of script....what do you mean "TCL" error
[07:54] <S2pid> its say tcl not install

[08:31] <mach20x> What bothers me the most is the ones for Audio, I have yet to get my rear audio jack working
[08:32] <OerHeks> yeah, first you have cd rom enabled in your sourceslist
[08:32] <OerHeks> softwarecenter > edit > sources
[08:33] <OerHeks> and ubuntu-audio-dev has no vivid candidates.. so that ppa is useless https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[08:33] <OerHeks> same for that transmission ppa
[08:33] <OerHeks> remove them, and update
[08:34] <OerHeks> any 'utopic' ppa entry in vivid will surely give an error
[08:46] <diytto> This channel has always seemed insanely huge to me
[08:58] <mach20x> OerHeks: granted, however the audio and transmissionbt are both vivid, there is no reason for the 404

[09:01] <mach20x> http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-amd64/Packages Is what I got on a readout
[09:03] <zhongfu> mach20x: 27GB sounds pretty scary.. what's inside?
[09:04] <zhongfu> dmesg gets sent to syslog too, so maybe check kern.log: tail /var/log/kern.log -n 500
[09:04] <mach20x> I have an encryptfs file that is 22gb's in size too...

[09:11] <RagBal> ttyUSB2 is for sending AT commands, I can read and write to there with minicom, but after a few seconds nothing responds anymore and that init sequence starts again
[09:12] <RagBal> Is this a driver issue? Or configuration? Perhaps both? Or hardware related?

[09:40] <crazyhorse18> hey all
[09:40] <crazyhorse18> how do i do an rsycn backup of my computer that is not encrypted if i have an encrypted home directory?
[09:41] <crazyhorse18> .Private/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED << in the rsync log i am seeing lots of directories like this
[09:41] <EriC^^> decrypt it, then run rsync
[09:41] <crazyhorse18> how do i decrypt it?
[09:43] <crazyhorse18> EriC^^,  it's not exactly obvious.. in osx.. you untick a button and it becomes unencrypted over time
[09:45] <Mion> just rsync the files
[09:45] <Mion> I asume you actually have the key/password to unlock your container
[09:45] <crazyhorse18> yeah i do
[09:45] <crazyhorse18> but it unlocks automatically when i login i assume?
[09:46] <Mion> if it does, then what is the problem?
[09:46] <Mion> just log in and rsync the files
[09:46] <crazyhorse18> ok.. what are all these .encrypted directories then?
[09:46] <Mion> see the encryptfs docs
[09:48] <crazyhorse18> should i be setting up ubuntu 14.04 or 15.04?
[09:48] <bstarek> is 15.04 lts? i havent researched
[09:49] <crazyhorse18> dont' think so
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> no
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> but you got the latest packages if you use 15.04
[09:49] <Dudytz> hi all, there is a way to create an alias with the name coming from a variable? like this: "alias $my=mycommand"
[09:51] <bstarek> go with the last version
[09:51] <crazyhorse18> ok
[09:52] <crazyhorse18> my current installation is completly broken
[09:52] <crazyhorse18> random crashes etc from 14.04
[09:53] <crazyhorse18> spent ages trying to work out the issue a few months back, im hoping a format will just fix it
[09:55] <sanjay_> asetalias
[09:57] <mach20x> ok! so I think I have a handle on my problem
[09:58] <zhongfu> mach20x: what's up with the postfix errors though, there's quite a few
[09:59] <zhongfu> not sure, maybe you could try touching /etc/mailname to remove the orders i guess
[09:59] <metalice> hi anyone is using quassel here? i cant get it to show ctcp confirm dialog popup like in mirc
[09:59] <bstarek> crazyhorse18, whats wrong with your 14.04?
[10:01] <crazyhorse18> no idea
[10:01] <crazyhorse18> i spent about 2 days
[10:01] <crazyhorse18> and asked lots of quesitons in here
[10:01] <crazyhorse18> basically random apps freezing
[10:01] <crazyhorse18> with no spike in load-average
[10:01] <crazyhorse18> so they just go grey.. and then the OS locks up
[10:01] <crazyhorse18> but the interface partially responds
[10:02] <crazyhorse18> then after about 2 or 3 minutes the app starts wroking
[10:02] <crazyhorse18> also its all apps
[10:02] <mach20x> I installed the graphic drivers for my Radeon cards and I'm getting this "kernel:  [    306.889133]  [drm: radeon_cs_ioctl [radeon] ] *ERROR* Failed to sync rings: -35
[10:03] <bstarek> crazyhorse18, weird
[10:03] <crazyhorse18> bstarek, yeah i also had it on 12.04
[10:03] <crazyhorse18> did an upgrade to 14.04 and that didn't fix it
[10:04] <crazyhorse18> i'm rsyncing the entire drive
[10:04] <bstarek> crazyhorse18, i went straight for the 14.04, no probs
[10:04] <crazyhorse18> and i'll tyr and setup a new computer
[10:04] <bstarek> server or desktop?
[10:04] <bstarek> just do a clean install
[10:04] <mach20x> zhongfu: in 5 minutes it created a billion lines of that which is probably the kind of thing that is panicking my kernel

[10:05] <mach20x> no to mention leaving me with an enormous kern.log
[10:05] <mach20x> not to mention*
[10:05] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[10:05] <cisconinja> anyone here used/s lantronix ?
[10:05] <zhongfu> mach20x: I've radeon errors on my server (which also happens to be a repurposed laptop)
[10:05] <zhongfu> they seem similar, let me see
[10:06] <zhongfu> nope they're not the same but both the integrated and discrete graphics cards on the laptop are pretty much dead
[10:06] <bstarek> crazyhorse18, server or desktop version?
[10:07] <crazyhorse18> bstarek, desktop
[10:07] <bstarek> okk
[10:07] <halfbeing> hello. since 15.04 upgrade my wifi connection keeps getting dropped. if i plug in the ethernet cable for a minute i get the connection back. how can i get a stable wifi connection?
[10:07] <mach20x> zhongfu: touch: cannot touch ‘/etc/mailname’: Permission denied
[10:07] <crazyhorse18> i hate wifi :(
[10:07] <crazyhorse18> almost impossible to debug
[10:08] <zhongfu> crazyhorse18: the .Private files are the actual files on the HDD, so if you want to rsync the unencrypted files you should mount the ecryptfs folder somewhere and then exclude the .Private directory in your rsync command
[10:08] <zhongfu> mach20x: sudo?
[10:08] <crazyhorse18> zhongfu: ohh right.
[10:08] <crazyhorse18> so i should do that before i format?
[10:08] <zhongfu> IIRC /etc/mailname is to redirect mails to somewhere else, let me see
[10:08] <crazyhorse18> how would i go about mounting the ecryptfs folder?
[10:09] <zhongfu> crazyhorse18: either way *should* be okay, but I personally wouldn't like to take the risk of it breaking somewhere
[10:09] <zhongfu> have had some bad experiences with ecryptfs folders (not home folders)
[10:09] <zhongfu> crazyhorse18: let me see
[10:09] <crazyhorse18> i've got a goolge
[10:09] <TunaFish> hi, hdd question, using ubuntu/gsmartmonitor, do you enable offline data collection? Why, why not? I am thinking about enabling for non-performance desktop pc.
[10:09] <mach20x> yeah I didn't sudo, it's late in my timezone
[10:09] <zhongfu> crazyhorse18: are you currently booted into the installation, or livecd?
[10:10] <crazyhorse18> currently booted
[10:11] <zhongfu> crazyhorse18: it's your home directory, right?
[10:12] <zhongfu> crazyhorse18: probably something like ecryptfs-mount-private
[10:13] <crazyhorse18> yeah it is
[10:13] <crazyhorse18> i tried mounting it
[10:13] <crazyhorse18> it asked for a million options
[10:13] <crazyhorse18> keysize, bytes, cipher
[10:24] <mach20x> zhongfu: I think the postfix dialog was due to rkhunter and clamav use to a degree, not sure what touch etc/mailname is doing for me
[10:27] <mach20x> zhongfu: I would definitely like to fix the video issue because (currently) the only sound I'm getting is from the HDMI audio channel to my monitor's speakers..
[10:30] <mach20x> I understand the touch command now
[10:31] <metalice> hi anyone is using quassel here? i cant get it to show ctcp confirm dialog popup like in mirc
[10:32] <bazhang> metalice, try #quassel
[10:32] <metalice> thanks!!
[10:35] <gloomy> Hi!
[10:36] <robbix> linux
[10:38] <robbix> god damn touchpad... disregard that last post. And this one for that matter.
[10:42] <pondo> hello I have downloaded jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz now how do i install it in ubuntu
[10:43] <bazhang> pondo, thats not the way to get java
[10:43] <bazhang> !java | pondo have a read
[10:43] <pondo> oh how do you get java 8
[10:44] <bazhang> see above pondo
[10:44] <pondo> ok
[10:44] <pondo> thanks
[10:48] <metalice> so you can recommend on other irc apps?
[10:49] <bazhang> metalice, gui there are several popular ones, cli irssi and weechat predominate
[10:49] <metalice> thank you
[10:50] <bazhang> metalice, apt-cache search irc
[10:51] <mass> having problems with telnet
[10:52] <mass> i can not connect to any site
[10:55] <mass_> have problems with telnet can not connect to any address
[10:55] <Ben64> you need to give a lot more details
[10:56] <mass_> telnet is install but i keep having refused connection error
[10:56] <Ben64> more details ... what exactly you're doing, pastebin stuff
[10:57] <mass_> mass@massinternational:~$ telnet massinternational.org Trying 192.185.78.123... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[10:57] <mass_> configuring mail server
[10:57] <Ben64> ok then the server is refusing the connection, not an ubuntu issue
[10:58] <luuse> hey
[10:58] <Mion> also telnet is not the way to configure a mail server
[10:58] <luuse> i'm trying to understand why chrome and ping (and probably most other) programs can
[10:58] <jpds> mass_: Give it a port after the domain name.
[10:58] <luuse> can't resolve host names
[10:58] <luuse> but host can
[10:58] <luuse> (the command host)
[10:59] <luuse> or rather, chrome works with external domains but it can't resolve the internal domain
[10:59] <mass_> its the last stage of configuring mail server on ubuntu
[10:59] <luuse> the machine is a standard ubuntu install with a dhcp provided network config
[11:00] <luuse> i'm on the same network with an arch machine and it works flawless without any manual intervention
[11:00] <mass_> ubuntu server 15 lts
[11:00] <luuse> both of ours /etc/resolv.conf has the search field set to the correct domain
[11:01] <luuse> but i have a bunch of nameservers fields set as well which he is missing
[11:01] <luuse> any ideas?
[11:02] <jpds> mass_: 1) You should be using 14.04 as it's an LTS.
[11:02] <mass_> was just the testing phase
[11:02] <jpds> mass_: 2) It's more like: telnet massinternational.org 25
[11:03] <jpds> mass_: Or whichever port your mail server is on.
[11:03] <mass_> thanks bt it times out
[11:03] <fdsf> i cant get working usb stick bootable iso from another distro with ubuntu 14.04 when i use dd it just produces stuff which load bootloader but not kernel
[11:03] <mass_> maybe the server does nt accept telnet
[11:03] <jpds> mass_: 'sudo netstat -ltnp' on the mail server.
[11:03] <fdsf> i used for example dd if=img of=/dev/sdb
[11:03] <jpds> mass_: Doesn't matter, you have to find the right port number.
[11:04] <fdsf> so how can i produce a working bootable usb stick from another distro?
[11:04] <fdsf> the stick works alright, used it before times
[11:04] <jpds> fdsf: Using dd depends on if the ISO image was created as a 'hybird' ISO.
[11:04] <fdsf> jpds: idk im no ubuntu dev
[11:05] <fdsf> jpds: if not, what to do then?
[11:07] <fdsf> jpds: what else i can use
[11:07] <jpds> fdsf: usb-creator-gtk ?
[11:07] <jpds> fdsf: unetbootin?
[11:08] <fdsf> jpds: first sound alright, thx
[11:11] <bstarek> luuse, try to ping domain first
[11:11] <bstarek> luuse, looks like a dns problem
[11:11] <bstarek> luuse, check your dns server config, it is bind9?
[11:14] <luuse> bstarek: we've tried ping and chrome, neither work. The host command does work though
[11:14] <luuse> and the host command resolves the domains to the correct IPs
[11:14] <bstarek> weird
[11:14] <luuse> not sure which dns server it is tbh
[11:15] <bstarek> who configured dns?
[11:15] <jpds> luuse: Can you ping your gateway, then your DNS server?
[11:16] <luuse> we're on an internal network at work so the dns server is centrally managed and it might be a windows server since there are some AD stuff on that domain
[11:18] <luuse> pinging the gateway works
[11:19] <bstarek> luuse, looks like you dont have access to dns server itself
[11:19] <luuse> and pinging the dns server works
[11:21] <luuse> bstarek: and running "host <a subdomain on the internal domain> <ip to internal dns server>" resolves the correct ip
[11:27] <pondo> ubotu, i got it thanks
[11:28] <hitesh> Hey
[11:28] <hitesh_> ooo

[12:10] <MaxFrames> hello
[12:10] <zhongfu> hello
[12:10] <MaxFrames> I have lubuntu, uname -r says 3.13.0-53-generic
[12:11] <MaxFrames> I need to know if this usb to serial adapter will work
[12:11] <MaxFrames> http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/Serial-Cards-Adapters/1-ft-USB-to-RS232-Serial-DB9-Adapter-Cable~ICUSB232PRO
[12:11] <zhongfu> what chipset does it use
[12:11] <MaxFrames> Prolific - PL-2303
[12:12] <MaxFrames> it says it's compatible with kernels 2.4.x-3.9.x which I think/hope comprises all kernels in between
[12:12] <zhongfu> IIRC the PL2303 should work
[12:12] <MaxFrames> I need it to manage switches via db9 from a netbook
[12:13] <zhongfu> the pl2303 kernel module is in and startech also advertises linux support
[12:13] <MaxFrames> good, looks like it will work then
[12:13] <zhongfu> 3.13 is newer than 3.9 though
[12:13] <zhongfu> just fyi
[12:13] <MaxFrames> gosh
[12:13] <bak> how to find my ram type frequency
[12:14] <MaxFrames> somehow I read 3.1.3 :P
[12:14] <MaxFrames> so there is a slight chance it may _not_ work
[12:14] <Johnny_Linux> find the latency
[12:14] <bak> I tried this  sudo lshw -short -C memory
[12:14] <Johnny_Linux> pc ####
[12:15] <MaxFrames> I'll write to startech

[12:27] <LordHamster> 8[12:31] <Inoki> Q about the upgrade process to a higher version via LiveUSB, anyone here to answer?
[12:32] <ju849> heyhey!
[12:33] <Luyin> Inoki depends on your question. why don't you just ask it?
[12:33] <ju849> I am having problems on my Ubuntu 14.04. It seems like that my user cannot perform certain operations (wireless adapter, mount USB, shutdown/reboot)
[12:34] <ju849> any idea?
[12:35] <ju849> I am getting 'Operation not permitted' when trying to select a wireless network and I can't disconnect/change the settings from the GUI
[12:37] <Inoki> Luyin: I'm on 14.04.2 and would want to upgrade to 15.04 via bootable USB, not "do-release-upgrade" while logged in in terminal. The Q is how safe is the LiveUSB step when you get to the installer and you are offered several options, one of them used to be "upgrade <previous v.> to <new version>". Is it recommendable/reliable? I used to select "something else" and do my own partitioning, never bothered to choose the other option bec
[12:39] <Inoki> ju849: Are you sure you are not logged in as Guest?
[12:39] <ju849> Inoki: extremely sure
[12:39] <Luyin> Inoki why don't you choose your own partitioning again, then? I'm always doing it this way, always worked best _for me_
[12:39] <ju849> I tried running Manager.CanReboot and I get 'challenge'
[12:39] <ju849> instead of 'yes'
[12:40] <nroetert> When running LXC containers, is there a problem mounting NFS exports in them?
[12:40] <Inoki> Luyin: yeah, it's just curiosity. Because that option says in the description, that my documents and personal stuff are not harmed, only the system is upgraded. I wanted to choose this step so I don't have to manually re-install everything again, as the upgrade should also upgrade software installed right? Or only software that comes with the update?
[12:41] <cscadmin_> .
[12:41] <Inoki> Luyin: am not sure how that process works and wanted to know from someone who's already done it.
[12:42] <Luyin> Inoki I'd never trust something that says "my personal stuff isn't harmed" without a backup
[12:43] <ju849> any clue Inoki?
[12:44] <Inoki> Luyin: I think that's a good enough answer for me :D I think the same, just wanted to save myself from extra "work", although I might just continue doing that extra "work" instead of getting into extra trouble :D
[12:44] <Inoki> ju849: nope, sorry, never heard of your issue before.
[12:44] <Inoki> ju849: being improperly logged in sounds like it. Or perhaps something with user groups and privileges.
[12:45] <ju849> Inoki: I checked and my user is correctly in the sudo group
[12:45] <ju849> Inoki: I typed 'who' and got my username
[12:45] <ju849> Inoki: I am getting 'Connection activation failed = (32) Not authorized to control networking'
[12:46] <ju849> Inoki: I am in the netdev group
[12:46] <Inoki> ju849: in that case, if there's nobody more experienced here to help, you might as well try searching/posting your Q to askubuntu and/or ubuntuforums. Really, if your user is in those groups and you are not logged in as guest something else is wrong.
[12:47] <Inoki> ju849: do you have a separate root password set up?
[12:48] <austin4312> Hey ikonia, it's me, austin
[12:48] <bloodnufsky> Hello?
[12:49] <bloodnufsky> Can someone tell me what this is?
[12:49] <austin4312> Anyways, according to help.ubuntu.com. vino is the default vnc server on ubuntu
[12:49] <austin4312> However, if I want to install x11vnc, how do I remove it?
[12:49] <austin4312> Also, if I remove it, will it cause any problems?
[12:49] <ju849> Inoki: no it's the same
[12:50] <ju849> Inoki: could it be something with the x11? I checked and I had to modify the XWrapper.conf because my user was not allowed to exec 'startx'. I changed from console to anybody and logged out: same
[12:52] <Inoki> ju849: try this https://askubuntu.com/questions/593648/loosing-user-permissions-after-upgrading-kubuntu-14-04-to-14-10
[12:55] <random1234543> hello, when I’m trying to start ssh on ubuntu I get the following: ssh stop/pre-start, process 21464
[12:55] <random1234543> what can I do to start the ssh server?
[12:56] <Luyin> random1234543 sudo service ssh start, which should usually not be necessary
[12:56] <ju849> Inoki: nope, I don't have it. I went through the policies of freedesktop and changed some stuff to allow (sleep, Sleep, wake) but it didn't seem to change anything
[12:56] <random1234543> Luyin: ssh stop/pre-start, process 21511
[12:59] <Inoki> ju849: then it might be a bug of some kind. Perhaps also the one in that Q on askubuntu? Either way, I am not that experienced, so I would recommend you to post your own question with as detailed description as possible (what you did and how until now).
[13:02] <Luyin> random1234543 that means your ssh-session is up and running
[13:02] <random1234543> when I’m  trying to connect I get connection refused
[13:03] <Amoz> random1234543, correct port?
[13:03] <ju849> inoki: I just realized that my ubuntu is now 14.10...
[13:04] <ju849> Inoki: it got updated to that (I am sure I had installed 14.04)
[13:04] <ju849> Inoki: perhaps that is what broke stuff
[13:04] <Nindustries> Hi guys. I periodically have the problem that Dash does not return ANY program I try to search for. Ideas?  A reboot fixes it
[13:04] <Inoki> ju849: and the question I posted here refers exactly to permission losses after upgrade, so check it out ;)
[13:05] <random1234543> yes, the port is correct
[13:05] <ju849> Inoki: your link had 1 reply which suggested to remove a package I don't have. not very useful :/
[13:06] <Inoki> ju849: if nothing else works do a fresh install to the latest 15.04 (takes only about 10 minutes if you're on a good connection) and you're good.
[13:06] <ju849> Inoki: and lose all my libraries and stuff: nah thx
[13:07] <Inoki> ju849: try one of these https://askubuntu.com/search?q=Not+authorized+to+control+networking. If none works, you can either wait for someone more experienced to help or make a backup of your files (just in case) and upgrade to 15.04 with a fresh install. If you know what you're doing takes even less than 10 mins :)

[13:16] <momblo> Hello guys! I`m new with Linux. so how i can install fedora in ubuntu to play steam games?
[13:16] <ju849> Inoki: you said 'fresh install'. Doesn't that already imply that I will lose all my data? Of course, I should backup then
[13:19] <MonkeyDust> ju849  yes backup first... during fresh install, create a separate /home partition... you personal wil then remain untouched during future fresh installs
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> your personal files*
[13:24] <random1234543> how can I start ssh, I get ssh stop/pre-start, process 21986
[13:25] <Luyin> random1234543 have you made sure your connection set up properly? have you made sure both server and client are connected to the internet/ local network?
[13:25] <random1234543> yes, I’m already connected to it via ssh
[13:26] <Luyin> what is your problem then?
[13:26] <random1234543> I can’t connect anymore
[13:27] <Luyin> you are connected, but cannot connect again? I don't understand what the problem is
[13:28] <wakennn> can
[13:28] <Luyin> what did you do to reach what aim, what did you expect to happen, what happened instead?
[13:28] <wakennn> ubuntu
[13:28] <wakennn> it's
[13:29] <random1234543> connection refused when I try to connect again
[13:29] <random1234543> apt-get install openssh-server fixed the problem

[13:30] <Samul`> is there a way to decrease the resolution of a hd video on ubuntu 15?
[13:31] <pbx> Samul`, say more about the problem you are trying to solve.  you are talking about playback or generating a new file?  what player are you using? what have you tried and what happened? etc.
[13:33] <syntax> hallo
[13:34] <Samul`> pbx: I need to generate a new file
[13:34] <Samul`> which has a lower resolution than the original
[13:34] <Samul`> I haven't tried anything yet, pbx
[13:34] <Samul`> as I don't even know where to start from
[13:35] <Samul`> the matter is that I have to post a video on the internet, and it's full hd
[13:35] <Samul`> it's about 1.5 gb even when compressed
[13:35] <Samul`> so the only way is to lower its resolution, how can I do so?
[13:35] <vemacs> what compression
[13:36] <Samul`> zip
[13:36] <Samul`> it's probably the only one accessible from the users the video is for
[13:36] <Samul`> is there a format which can compress it further?
[13:36] <vemacs> oh, that's not compression
[13:36] <Samul`> I am willing to try
[13:36] <vemacs> well, that's lossless
[13:36] <pbx> Samul`, don't compress video files, there's little point, they're extremely compressed by design already
[13:36] <vemacs> what format is it
[13:36] <Samul`> mp4
[13:36] <vemacs> at the moment
[13:37] <vemacs> you can choose lossier output options
[13:37] <pbx> Samul`, try this: https://handbrake.fr/
[13:37] <Samul`> how can I change the format of a video? I guess I need a video editing program
[13:37] <vemacs> ffmpeg would work
[13:37] <vemacs> there's several GUI wrappers as well
[13:37] <Samul`> how can I do this by ffmpeg?
[13:37] <r0ute> Samul`, avidemux would do it
[13:38] <vemacs> http://superuser.com/questions/4244/how-do-i-reduce-the-size-of-a-huge-mp4-video
[13:38] <vemacs> basically just lower the bitrate
[13:38] <Samul`> thank you
[13:38] <Samul`> I'll go for the easiest solution
[13:38] <Samul`> I don't need anything complex
[13:44] <Samul`> vemacs: it just doesn't work with ffmpeg
[13:44] <vemacs> how so
[13:44] <Samul`> it outputs a file which makes vlc crash upon opening it
[13:44] <vemacs> args?
[13:45] <YamakasY> anyone an idea about libini_config
[13:45] <Samul`> ffmpeg -i kata.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -crf 20 katacompress.mp4
[13:45] <Samul`> the exact same command as in the link you posted
[13:45] <YamakasY> I need version 1.1.0 on Ubuntu
[13:45] <YamakasY> oops
[13:45] <YamakasY> trust
[13:45] <YamakasY> y
[13:45] <Samul`> (I tried the first as well)
[13:45] <Samul`> I can see this red line
[13:45] <Samul`> [aac @ 0x215ea80] The encoder 'aac' is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.
[13:45] <Samul`> but I don't know where I am supposed to add that argument
[13:46] <vemacs> hmm, not sure, try handbrake (it's a ffmpeg wrapper)
[13:46] <vemacs> might make it easier to use the proper args
[13:46] <SchrodingersScat> Samul`: anywhere before the output should be fine
[13:46] <Turnip_Green> Good morning (at least where I am) guys I keep running into the same problem.  I have been experiencing this for several releases now.  It seems when I try to install the 64 bit version of Ubuntu my networking will not work.  With 12.04 (I believe) the 64 bit variant would not even see any of my networking hardware and in subsequent releases my hardware is recognized however when I try to connect to my network (wireless
[13:46] <Turnip_Green> or hard wired) all attempts fail.  This has been an issue with two different wireless adapters now.  Any ideas?
[13:47] <Samul`> SchrodingersScat: okay now it seems to work
[13:47] <Samul`> will it take long generally?
[13:47] <vemacs> yeah
[13:47] <danofsatx> greetings. I'm running a local Ubuntu mirror, using apt-mirror to set it up. When apt-mirror runs, I get a stream of errors where the script can't find the Packages.gz file for the repositories, however the files exist and are reachable.
[13:48] <vemacs> re-encoding is fairly CPU intensive
[13:48] <vemacs> how long is your video
[13:48] <danofsatx> for example, here's the output from this morning's run: http://fpaste.org/232136/34376109/
[13:50] <Samul`> vemacs: 1.20 minutes
[13:50] <Samul`> something aroud 150 mb
[13:50] <vemacs> so like barely over a minute and it's 1.5GB?
[13:50] <vemacs> are you shooting 4k lol
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> danofsatx  which ubuntu release? make sure it's not !eol
[13:51] <Samul`> vemacs: it was three videos
[13:51] <vemacs> ah
[13:51] <danofsatx> is trusty eol?
[13:51] <vemacs> still that's insane
[13:51] <vemacs> danofsatx, lolno
[13:51] <Samul`> but will it actually decrease the size of that video?
[13:51] <vemacs> 2019 eol
[13:51] <vemacs> Samul`, incredibly likely
[13:51] <Samul`> it looks like it's already over 90 mb
[13:51] <danofsatx> ok (I don't follow ubuntu, sorry)
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> danofsatx  that's a lot of PPA's
[13:51] <traekili> how do you install 4k monitor in ubuntu 15
[13:52] <danofsatx> yes, I know. My users have unique requirements.
[13:52] <Samul`> vemacs: I'm willing to reduce significantly the resolution of that video in order to decrease its size as well
[13:52] <vemacs> ffmpeg offers that too
[13:52] <Samul`> so maybe I should try with more severe settinfs?
[13:52] <Samul`> *settings
[13:52] <Samul`> heh how do I do it?
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> danofsatx  the PPA's are most probably the cause of your technical problems
[13:52] <vemacs> use the scale filter
[13:52] <vemacs> https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Scaling%20(resizing)%20with%20ffmpeg
[13:53] <vemacs> try re-encoding first though
[13:53] <danofsatx> MonkeyDust: I can browse to every file the apt-mirror script says it can't find.
[13:53] <vemacs> and if you want smaller filesizes
[13:53] <vemacs> change crf to 24
[13:53] <vemacs> from the 20 provided in the example
[13:53] <Samul`> okay
[13:53] <Samul`> so I re-encode and then I actually reduce the size
[13:53] <Samul`> and it will be fine?
[13:53] <vemacs> try re-encoding first then see if you actually need to reduce the resolution
[13:54] <vemacs> if you're running with crf 20, i'd bump it up a bit
[13:54] <vemacs> only use scale filter as last resort
[13:54] <Samul`> okay the video looks pretty much like the original one
[13:54] <Samul`> but it's about 120 mb
[13:54] <vemacs> so is that good enough
[13:55] <Samul`> I don't think so
[13:55] <Samul`> there are two more videos
[13:55] <Samul`> and I have to be able to upload all of them
[13:55] <vemacs> what's the original filesize of the first video
[13:55] <vemacs> for reference
[13:56] <Samul`> 176 mb, now 114 mb
[13:56] <vemacs> okay, try crf 24
[13:56] <vemacs> re-encode
[13:56] <Samul`> is that the previous link you posted?
[13:56] <IsoLnCHiP> Hi, does anyone know an archive mirror that still provides Saucy packages?
[13:56] <Samul`> nope it doesn't look like that
[13:56] <Samul`> how can I re-encode?
[13:56] <vemacs> http://superuser.com/questions/4244/how-do-i-reduce-the-size-of-a-huge-mp4-video
[13:56] <vemacs> 2nd command, change 20 to 24
[13:57] <Samul`> okay
[13:57] <vemacs> re-encode the original, don't re-encode the one you just did
[13:57] <vemacs> you still got a 36% filesize decrease from just reencoding
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> danofsatx  your clients, you say... is that a server?
[13:58] <Samul`> okay
[13:58] <vemacs> basically just mess around with the settings, continually lower the bitrate
[13:58] <vemacs> until you get the filesize you want
[13:59] <astroboy> hi, will ask, can we show notification from terminal?
[13:59] <Samul`> so if 24 isn't enough
[13:59] <Samul`> I have to increase that number?
[13:59] <vemacs> it should be lol
[14:00] <vemacs> https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
[14:00] <vemacs> 51 is worst possible
[14:00] <danofsatx> MonkeyDust: the apt-mirror script is indeed run from a central hosting server.
[14:00] <vemacs> you can probably go up to 28
[14:00] <vemacs> without resulting in a significantly different looking video
[14:00] <vemacs> just mess around
[14:00] <vemacs> if you really don't care about quality
[14:00] <vemacs> turn it up
[14:01] <vemacs> max is 51 but i guarantee it'll look terrible
[14:01] <Samul`> okay
[14:01] <danofsatx> MonkeyDust: I can run wget from the command line on that server and get the files that apt-mirror can't. The error lies in apt-mirror, I just don't know how to troubleshoot it.
[14:01] <Samul`> let's hope it will be okay with 24
[14:01] <MonkeyDust> astroboy  https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100416134043AAq6b71
[14:01] <vemacs> try 28 next
[14:01] <vemacs> just keep on going up
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> danofsatx  there's also #ubuntu-server, better ask there, I guess
[14:02] <danofsatx> ok, thanks
[14:03] <astroboy> thx MonkeyDust
[14:03] <Semiarty> hello, I somewhat a new unix (ubuntu) system user, at the moment I am trying to download files from another server to my own ubuntu server through ssh. The problem is that I have to do ssh twice and I don't want to do downloading twice. Is there a way to somehow bypass one ssh step and download straight from the server ?
[14:03] <Semiarty> am*

[14:35] <zertyu> hi there
[14:35] <zertyu> i try to install ipscan
[14:36] <Samul`> thank you genii
[14:36] <knightyy> so I have a pretty silly question,I first installed Ubuntu 15.04 but then decided that I don't really like Unity,so I installed kubuntu-desktop through terminal.Overally it was a smooth transition(I broke ubuntu during installation as I chose lightdm as display manager and ubuntu didn't like that,It didn't tell me what to choose either but I fixed it via recovery mode),but since day one Application tab of application launcher misses some logos http://
[14:36] <knightyy> imgur.com/v1bh9Mc
[14:36] <knightyy> I wonder if I better format and install kubuntu properly or if my current setup is fine in the long run?
[14:36] <zertyu> this is the error  i got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/11719724/
[14:37] <TJ-> zertyu: which Ubuntu release is that on?
[14:38] <zertyu> this is an other erro : http://paste.ubuntu.com/11719728/
[14:38] <zertyu> Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l
[14:40] <zertyu> anyone there ?
[14:42] <peter1789> yes I'm here ... I test xchat for the first time
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> peter1789  it works, we see you
[14:45] <peter1789> Yes, it's working ...
[14:47] <Scunizi> knightyy: I have a pure kde install of 14.04 and a lot of what you're seeing as missing icons is normal. don't worry about it.
[14:49] <Scunizi> zertyu: do what it says... "sudo apt-get -f install" without the quotes (")
[14:58] <TheBard> I created a drive mount using sudo mount -t cifs -o "yadda yadda", and it worked, but the mount is owned by root, and group root, and wont' let me change it.
[15:02] <knightyy> Thanks Scunizi!was a bit worried because I ruined an ubuntu installation playing with different interfaces,but it seems like I have finally settled with KDE.Now next question,I have two linux-swap partitions and gparted says that one is not being used.how can I make sure that it was made incorrectly and then connect the linux-swap partition to my main ext4 partition safely?
[15:04] <scorpion57> salut
[15:05] <knightyy> It is worth noting that I didn't manually format my drive,I told Ubuntu 15.04 installer to remove my ubuntu 14.04 and then install itself. my ext4 partition is /dev/sda7,linux is using swap on /dev/sda5 and my "inactive" swap is on /dev/sda6
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> TheBard  use 'man mount'... scroll down to 'user'... or use /user to start a search
[15:11] <azizLIGHT> how do i capture all the notify-send that have been sent? i want to also mirror them to my phone
[15:15] <jayjo> Does it make sense to try and connect to my public ip from the machine itself? Is that some sort of networking no-no?
[15:15] <jayjo> I have mysql running, does it make sense to connect to the server's ip or do I connect over localhost?
[15:16] <jayjo> will it even work with the public ip/
[15:17] <compdoc> I havent done it, but I think you can connect remotely if its set up for that
[15:19] <zteam> Hi all!
[15:20] <guest-415eFj> halo

[15:20] <zteam> Is there any easy way to make a bootable Windows usb-key from Ubuntu?
[15:20] <guest-415eFj> test
[15:20] <guest-415eFj> t
[15:20] <guest-415eFj> t
[15:20] <guest-415eFj> t
[15:20] <guest-415eFj> t
[15:20] <jayjo> it's an ec2 instance, I can connect fine from my machine (when it is a remote connection) but I'm struggling with connections from localhost
[15:20] <somtino> i'm new here,does  anyone mind telling me how to install adobe flash player
[15:21] <rory> zteam: yes there is http://askubuntu.com/a/381560
[15:21] <zteam> I already tried with win-isb amd dd but both of that failed
[15:21] <jayjo> is there a way to test outbound connections on the machine?
[15:21] <zteam> rory, that's what I tried, it did failed
[15:21] <rory> Could you provide any more details than "failed" ?
[15:22] <przemytriel> hi guys when i reboot my server my os hangs on:  A stop job is running for Pacemaker High Availability Cluster Manager
[15:22] <przemytriel> do you know what is the problem?
[15:22] <boomls> hello - how can I test my mic and replay sounds?
[15:23] <zteam> it stated error 512 at the end of of the process, and the resulting usb-key can not be booted
[15:23] <zteam> rory, it's just give me a blank cursor
[15:25] <boomls> ok - what's a good website to test mic and webcam?
[15:26] <trishna> HI
[15:26] <TJ-> zteam: that is a BIOS/firmware + Windows bootable issue. blinking cursor suggests a BIOS/MBR boot attempt not finding the windows boot-strap code on the media. Try asking in ##windows
[15:26] <IP92> I can't seem to ID myself using facebook on firefox
[15:27] <zteam> TJ-, guess I can do that, but they will most likely tell me to try from a Windows machine
[15:28] <lynxx> tahurel: meow
[15:28] <jayjo> is there a way to get system statistics from the cli ?
[15:28] <jayjo> like disk space used, etc
[15:28] <jpds> jayjo: df -h
[15:28] <TJ-> zteam: why not test it in a Virtual Machine?
[15:29] <TJ-> zteam: it depends on what Windows image you're trying to boot from. It may not support BIOS/MBR boot
[15:29] <tahurel> lynxx: meow
[15:29] <jayjo> I'm just noticing some latency issues while working on my ssh session. the filesystem is at 50% used, is there another easy thing I can diagnose?
[15:29] <jayjo> trying to solve a slowdown issue
[15:30] <zteam> TJ-, it's a Windows 7 iso so yes, I'm sure it supports MBR, and my machine is really to old for EFI / UEIFI anyway :-)
[15:31] <TJ-> zteam: examine the image in detail then to determine what kind of boot code it has
[15:31] <wakennn> TJ-: can you help me again please?
[15:32] <wakennn> i was trying to install ubuntu server 15.04
[15:32] <wakennn> but it doesn't recognise my wifi
[15:32] <boomls> anything better than cheese for video capture? I can't change frame rate
[15:32] <wakennn> in debian i could sideload some firmware TJ- what's ubuntu solution to this?
[15:32] <TJ-> zteam: If the image is El Torito but the BIOS is expecting a fixed disk then that would account for the flashing cursor since there's no MBR bootstrap code
[15:32] <wakennn> if i install without network i end up with a system without any higher level wifi programs
[15:33] <TJ-> wakennn: firmware is in "/lib/firmware/" - there are several firmware packages available in the archives, and additional files can be installed manually
[15:34] <wakennn> TJ-: i don't understand.. how do I load them?
[15:34] <TJ-> wakennn: just save them in that location in the file-system
[15:35] <wakennn> oh mount the stick on other pc and drag iwlwifi to /lib/firmware/ TJ- ?
[15:35] <zteam> TJ-, yes, that's probably it. O
[15:35] <TJ-> wakennn: Yes. kernel drivers that require firmware ask the kernel for a named file, kernel asks userspace to provide it, and usually its udev that handles that
[15:36] <zteam> TJ-, trying to install it from the terminal right now
[15:36] <TJ-> wakennn: udev looks in /lib/firmware/ for the named file and passes it to the kernel if found.
[15:36] <wakennn> ah
[15:37] <IP92> hey, I have a small problem. I can't seem to sign in to websites using facebook. when I click sign in, a popup with nothing in it appears, and nothing else happens. using firefox
[15:37] <wakennn> TJ-: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/ here for ubuntu server 15.04?
[15:37] <JohnAgosta> #snappy
[15:37] <wakennn> it's not under "kernel"
[15:38] <TJ-> wakennn: what is "it" ?
[15:38] <wakennn> iwlwifi and the other iw...
[15:38] <wakennn> TJ-: ^
[15:39] <TJ-> wakennn: the firmware files are in package linux-firmware, which I'd have thought was already installed
[15:39] <zacktu> I need to install libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.  Is it in one of the gtk libraries that I can install?

[15:46] <sistematico> pbx, hmmm, IRSeekBot maybe?
[15:46] <sistematico> remi, hello
[15:46] <Turnip_Green> wakennn my computer did something similar with the 64 bit desktop variant.  As of yet no one has been able to explain why the 64 bit stuff does this and the 32 doesn't.  At least not to me.
[15:47] <Pici> sistematico: ubuntulog is just an irssi instance iirc.
[15:47] <pbx> sistematico, unlikely that bot code is going to be dealing with log rotation.
[15:47] <remi> me i have no problems with my ubuntu.
[15:47] <TJ-> wakennn: On 'server' you have to configure WPA supplicant yourself, whereas on 'desktop' NeworkManager does it all for you
[15:48] <pbx> sistematico, for all we know it's just logrotate with a plone front end
[15:49] <wakennn> TJ-: is there a wiki for that? is it complicated?
[15:49] <tee1> hi can someone help with my Comodo antivirus. keep getting "file system driver is not loaded"

[15:55] <Turnip_Green> I know you are.  Just saying that such problems are not uncommon.  I'd like to know the answer myself because I'd like to get a 64 bit system running.

[16:08] <wakennn> for whatever reason
[16:09] <astroboy> SchrodingersScat: to show information just like when we rigt click the file and click properties
[16:09] <SchrodingersScat> astroboy: then yes, try ls -l

[16:51] <OpenSorce> MonkeyDust, because... it throws up ads for amazon in every search. Anyone going to answer the question though?
[16:51] <tgm4883> This channel really needs a do-not-engage policy
[16:51] <SchrodingersScat> OpenSorce: already have
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> OpenSorce  simply disable that option
[16:51] <OpenSorce> SchrodingersScat, No you showed me what other DEs there are. Does this channel support them?
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> OpenSorce  and don't spread FUD about adware nonsense
[16:52] <trijntje> its always fun to see people insult the channel and then ask for help
[16:52] <polyzium> so what i need to do with grub?
[16:52] <trijntje> polyzium: it wont show up if you only have ubuntu on your pc, did you remove windows?
[16:52] <tgm4883> lets stay on topic
[16:52] <SchrodingersScat> OpenSorce: the ones we don't support normally flag you to seek help elsewhere.
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> OpenSorce  what is your actual question?
[16:52] <OpenSorce> MonkeyDust, wasn't the point... and it isn't FUD. It's fact. So does this channel support the other DEs or no?
[16:52] <polyzium> trijntje, it boots into windows
[16:52] <tgm4883> OpenSorce: to the best of our ability, yes
[16:53] <polyzium> and grub menu is not shown
[16:53] <OpenSorce> tgm4883, thank you!
[16:53] <tgm4883> OpenSorce: but we may refer you to the flavor specific channel
[16:53] <trijntje> polyzium: in that case something went wrong with the installation, better try again
[16:53] <OpenSorce> tgm4883, that would certainly be helpful.
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> OpenSorce  don't confuse FUD with facts, that's confusing to new users
[16:53] <OpenSorce> tgm4883, I'm asking for research.
[16:54] <polyzium> trijntje, i need to reinstall again? maybe that's because i put grub into /dev/sda4?
[16:54] <tgm4883> OpenSorce: research for what?
[16:54] <OpenSorce> MonkeyDust, not gonna do this with you. If you have to disable adds, it's adware. Pure and simple. I'm not hating.
[16:54] <trijntje> polyzium: installing again is the easiest, you have to put grub on /dev/sda
[16:54] <OpenSorce> tgm4883, an article I'm writing aimed at new users.
[16:55] <polyzium> trijntje, it says failed to get canonical path of cow
[16:55] <Rodrigo5244> Hello, I have removed and installed Firefox, and now the Ubuntu's scroll bar is missing just on Firefox. How do I get it back on Firefox?
[16:55] <OpenSorce> So for instance, if a new user came in here and said they don't like the ads and the general feel of Unity you would help them find a suitable replacement?
[16:55] <trijntje> polyzium: it?
[16:56] <tgm4883> OpenSorce: yes, that has happened before
[16:56] <OpenSorce> tgm4883, thank you again :-)
[16:56] <boodllebat> how to get device node ?
[16:57] <xangua> Rodrigo5244: if by Ubuntu scrollbar you mean the Overlay scrollbar, Firefox doesn't use it
[16:57] <polyzium> trijntje, what? i typed "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"
[16:57] <OpenSorce> Rodrigo5244, how did you remove and then install FF. Was it through the package manager?
[16:57] <trijntje> polyzium: where did you type that?
[16:57] <boodllebat> how to get connected device's node in ubuntu ? Thanks
[16:57] <polyzium> trijntje, from liveusb
[16:57] <polyzium> terminal
[16:57] <trijntje> polyzium: that wont work, its easier to just reinstall
[16:58] <trijntje> !grub see this polyzium
[16:58] <Rodrigo5244> OpenSorce: I think I removed it using Ubuntu software center. And I installed it using apt-get install.
[16:58] <trijntje> !grub | polyzium
[16:59] <OpenSorce> Rodrigo5244, kk... you should be fine then. Was it there before you removed it?
[17:00] <Rodrigo5244> OpenSorce: I don't remember. After installing Ubuntu I removed a lot of packages, Firefox included, and installed a different browser.
[17:00] <OpenSorce> Rodrigo5244, I think xangua is right. I don't think FF uses it.
[17:00] <Rodrigo5244> OpenSorce: I don't know how exactly the scroll bar works. I know I removed Firefox Ubuntu extention, do you think that is the issue?
[17:01] <OpenSorce> Rodrigo5244, is it not scrolling now or did you just want the look of the Unity scrollbar?
[17:02] <Rodrigo5244> That is weird. All the other applications have the overlay scrollbar. Why Firefox does not have it?
[17:03] <xangua> because firefox is not a GTK app
[17:03] <trijntje> AFAIK they needed to do some special hacks for firefox because it draws its own scrollbar or something
[17:03] <xangua> neither is LibreOffice
[17:03] <trijntje> but I dont know the details
[17:04] <tomtom_> hi there
[17:04] <polyzium> xangua, what it uses? Qt?
[17:04] <xangua> XUL
[17:04] <Rodrigo5244> I know chrome draw its own scrollbar, but I think Firefox uses gtk for the scrollbar.
[17:04] <polyzium> xangua, what is this?
[17:05] <OpenSorce> Rodrigo5244, there should be a Unity theme for it though if you want the look.
[17:05] <tomtom_> I've got a bit of an issue after restoring a supposedly full backup of my system
[17:05] <polyzium> trijntje, SOLVED i installed boot repair
[17:06] <trijntje> polyzium: cool, congratulations on your new ubuntu ;)
[17:06] <jayjo> will it cause a problem if I have acronjob that is still executing when it's time to run another job, or does the cron utitlity handle all of this?
[17:08] <tomtom_> every time I want to resolve some apt conflicts, I get Base class package "Debconf::DbDriver::Cache" is empty.
[17:08] <tomtom_> seems like some files or packages were not part of the backup because I excluded *Cache*
[17:09] <unknown_user> Hello, guys! How are you?
[17:09] <tomtom_> but I don't know which file or files I need to restore
[17:09] <tomtom_> http://pastebin.com/whcFm5Tq for a bit more context
[17:09] <trijntje> tomtom_: how did you make the backup?
[17:10] <tomtom_> trijntje: with backintime as root
[17:10] <trijntje> (also, if you put LANG=C in the terminal it will give all output in English)
[17:10] <tomtom_> trijntje: oh yeah, sorry about the german
[17:11] <renokikevi> How do i remove same content one dual displays  with xrandr?
[17:12] <tomtom_> trijntje: new version in english: http://pastebin.com/QJqQUe8x
[17:12] <Rodrigo5244> Ok, it seems that more applications don't support the overlay scrollbars too, so I will disable it to get a more uniform user interface. Thanks.
[17:12] <TJ-> tomtom_: try reinstalling the 'debconf' package
[17:12] <tomtom_> TJ-: thanks, will give it a shot
[17:12] <TJ-> tomtom_: That packages contains: "/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Cache.pm"
[17:13] <tomtom_> Oh yeah that sounds like a possible culprit
[17:14] <Rodrigo5244> Now Firefox scrollbar looks the same as other applications. It seems it does use gtk and does not draw its own like chrome.
[17:17] <Rodrigo5244> Now I can see that some applications have one style of scrollbars and others have a different style.
[17:17] <Rodrigo5244> Maybe the gtk2 theme is different than the gtk3 theme?
[17:19] <tomtom_> TJ: how would you reinstall the package? Apt always asks me to use install -f because some packages have unmed dependencies
[17:20] <renokikevi> I got two displays that are showing the same content how do i fix that?
[17:23] <victor__>  hi guys, i installed a  plasma theme via systemsettings5 and now i want to uninstall it but i don't find the file, where is it stored? (kubuntu here)
[17:23] <jmfurlott> Any way to improve the tiling system in Unity? Or rather, run xmonad, i3, etc with unity?
[17:27] <squeegily> I want to use my VPN connection ONLY for Deluge - all other programs, I want to route through my regular internet
[17:27] <squeegily> It's OpenVPN - how can I do this?
[17:27] <E}l{uk> kursor tormozit na ubuntu 15 v Hyper-V win2k8 R2
[17:29] <lotuspsychje> jmfurlott: maybe the #i3 guys might know?
[17:32] <squeegily> Checking "Use this connection only for resources on its network" disables routing ANY packets through that interface - even when manually specifying (e.g., curl --interface tun0)
[17:39] <DexterF> greetings! does this channel cover ubuntu phone?

[17:42] <jayjo> Can I have a crontab execute all python scripts in a directory/
[17:42] <jayjo> ?
[17:42] <jayjo> Or should I have it execute a script that recursively executes all python scripts in a subdirectory
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> jayjo: maybe the #python guys might know?
[17:46] <teward> jayjo: #python might know, but ideally you would be having a crontab execute a script that would execute the other scripts...
[17:47] <squeegily> lotuspsychje and teward: It's not a Python-specific thing, it could be any language. #python would not be suitable for that question
[17:47] <jayjo> Well, right now I have a crontab that executes python scripts by first calling a shell script
[17:47] <squeegily> I think how you're doing it now is pretty much right then
[17:48] <teward> squeegily: true.
[17:48] <jayjo> this works fine, but I was wondering if there was a way to recursively execute the scripts so I don't even need a line that says 'python <filename>' but I could just place them all in a directory that would execute them
[17:50] <squeegily> jayjo: There's nothing built-in in any scripting language I can think of
[17:55] <arijk> Got a new external 1TB HDD (USB3.0). How can I check if it has bad sectors? How much time would it take for the process to complete??

[18:03] <Denommus> I'm trying to compile them for 32bits but getting errors
[18:08] <ioria> !info libgtk2-appindicator-perl
[18:10] <lost> hello can someone help me with installing tails im using ubuntu
[18:10] <Denommus> ioria: are you saying that I should install the perl version before trying to compile the gtk2 and gtk3 versions?
[18:11] <ioria> Denommus, not at all, i don't either know what are you doing :þ
[18:12] <ioria> +even
[18:13] <Denommus> ioria: I'm just trying to compile libappindicator for 32bits, under a 64bits system
[18:13] <Denommus> ioria: I am downloading the latest stable version, but getting an error "no: unknown command"

[18:14] <Denommus> lost: it should be if=<yourpath>, not if'<yourpath>'
[18:15] <ioria> Denommus, that ^ ?
[18:15] <lost> multisystems?
[18:15] <Denommus> ioria: yes, but I'm using version 12.10.0
[18:15] <Denommus> ioria: should I try the version listed?
[18:16] <ioria> Denommus, why are you compiling from source ?
[18:17] <lotuspsychje> lost: with multisystem you can create a boot usb easy, drag n drop the iso
[18:17] <lost> lotuspsychje: do i install multisystems?
[18:17] <Denommus> ioria: because I'm not using Ubuntu
[18:18] <lotuspsychje> lost: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[18:18] <ioria> Denommus, where did you get the source ?
[18:20] <Semiarty> so I have tried using http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/articles/transparent-mulithop.html to download files from a target server with bypassing intermediate host, but I cannot do it because the intermediate host does not have netcat. Is there any other way of achieving my goal?
[18:21] <bekks> Semiarty: Just use the good old ssh -L
[18:22] <Semiarty> -l ?
[18:22] <Denommus> ioria: https://launchpad.net/libappindicator/12.10/12.10.0/+download/libappindicator-12.10.0.tar.gz
[18:22] <bekks> Semiarty: -L, not -l
[18:22] <Semiarty> ok, -L, so how does it work?
[18:23] <ioria> Denommus, anyways to enable 32bit look here : http://www.unixmen.com/enable-32-bit-support-64-bit-ubuntu-13-10-greater/
[18:23] <Semiarty> google doesn't tell me anything
[18:23] <arijk> lotuspsychje: Got into testdisk....  Getting this " /dev/sdb1 - 1000 GB / 931 GiB" But it shows 999.7GB Free(Total Capacity 1.0GB) and 443.2MB Used when I right click > Properties on the drive...
[18:23] <bekks> Semiarty: create a ssh tunnel, and "bypass" the intermediate host.
[18:23] <arijk> Is this OK?
[18:23] <umarmunir94> hi there guys.. I have a problem here with Xubuntu
[18:23] <umarmunir94> installed it first time after Manjaro crashed during an update
[18:24] <lotuspsychje> arijk: scan the whole disk with testdisk or install e2fsprogs as ioria suggested
[18:24] <Denommus> ioria: I'm not using Ubuntu..........
[18:24] <Semiarty> umarmunir94 #xubuntu
[18:24] <umarmunir94> Manjaro detected wifi when I pressed Fn + F2 but Xubuntu isn't detecting it
[18:24] <Denommus> ioria: I'm asking here because it seems this library is from Canonical, and the problem I'm having is upstream, not from my distro
[18:24] <umarmunir94> I have connected it through wire
[18:25] <umarmunir94> semiarty
[18:25] <lost> i downloaded it to the desktop as told and when i double click it it doesnt give option to run from terminal so i copy pasted into terminal and then had to put sudo pass and then nothing?
[18:25] <ioria> Denommus, ok, what are you using, then ? (why don't you install ubuntu ?)
[18:25] <umarmunir94> Semiarty
[18:25] <umarmunir94> #xubuntu
[18:26] <hplc> how do i mirror a webpage to a local folder? (for later editing of fonts/fontssize before printing)?
[18:27] <lost> now i have a window for x Term stuck open and wont close
[18:28] <arijk> Even if I go forward ...Do I choose Intel/PC as the partition table type  since the HDD is NTFS formatted?
[18:28] <Denommus> ioria: I'm using Arch Linux
[18:28] <arijk> lotuspsychje: ^
[18:28] <lotuspsychje> arijk: yes
[18:28] <Scunizi> HP laptop is giving me fits installing ubuntu.. HP has 4 partitions on the drive preventing me from installing. sda1 = system 199MiB, sda2 = typical windows parition for data, programs etc (resized to 93 gigs), sda3 = recovery 33GiB, and sda4 HP tools 103Mib fat32.  So without eliminating one of the partitions I can't add any more. The question is can I eliminate sda4 and still be able to use the recovery partition for re-installing windows if 
[18:29] <arijk> lotuspsychje: Then choose Analyse right?
[18:29] <ioria> Denommus, you  have to find out the equivalent dependencies for arch, then
[18:29] <lotuspsychje> arijk: you can do the tests you want from list
[18:29] <Denommus> ioria: yes, I have the dependencies installed, that's not my problem, though
[18:29] <lotuspsychje> arijk: also check your syslog and dmesg for harddisk errors
[18:29] <Denommus> ioria: my problem is that I get an error "no: command not found" when trying to compile the library
[18:29] <Denommus> ioria: wait, I have some logs
[18:30] <Denommus> ioria: http://pastebin.com/BYpP1nS4
[18:32] <ioria> Denommus, could be the shell .... not /bin/sh, but /bin/bash
[18:33] <Pici> Denommus: It looks like its trying to execute a program called "no", which doesn't exist.
[18:33] <Denommus> Pici: I know, I just don't know why it's trying to execute that
[18:34] <Denommus> I looked into the makefile and couldn't find anything about that
[18:34] <ioria> Denommus,  i had the same problem with popd
[18:34] <Denommus> ioria: using /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh solved it? But how did you tell configure or make to use /bin/sh?
[18:35] <arijk> lotuspsychje: This is a new external 1TB USB3.0 HDD that I got today. Just want to check if everything's okay in there....  Gievn that I haven't written any data on it yet would dmesg or syslog have any external HD errors logs in them?
[18:35] <lotuspsychje> arijk: if a disk fails or badblocks, should show in the logs
[18:36] <ioria> Denommus,  if i type /bin/sh no i get Can't open no   with /bin/bash  No such file or directory
[18:36] <ioria> Denommus,  i think it's a shell path problem
[18:37] <ioria> Denommus,  oh, that could be a problem . maybe you have to change Makefile, or the header of each script, or the global  shell env variable
[18:38] <acovrig> I can’t get an apt-get upgrade to work, this is the output (https://bitbucket.org/snippets/acovrig/zyoMM); corrupted .deb download? BTW: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on Linux bananapi 3.4.90 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jul 29 16:16:05 CST 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
[18:39] <arijk> lotuspsychje: I ran the Analyse option and and I got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721024/
[18:40] <ioria> Denommus,  check echo $SHELL
[18:41] <arijk> lotuspsychje: I am thinking I would give it fresh NTFS format and start the testdisk again. Maybe the disk was not properly formatted by the manufacturer?
[18:42] <lotuspsychje> arijk: you can try in another format yes, but i think bad sector is a bad sector
[18:42] <compdoc> netware 3.11. heh
[18:42] <Denommus> ioria: /usr/bin/zsh
[18:42] <lotuspsychje> arijk: ask in ##hardware if you want to be sure
[18:42] <ioria> Denommus,  oh... maybe you have to change it...
[18:43] <Denommus> ioria: it seems $(CSC) has "no" as a value in bindings/mono/Makefile.am
[18:43] <ioria> Denommus,  what you mean ?
[18:43] <Denommus> ioria: and $(CSFLAGS) is ""
[18:44] <Denommus> ioria: so the command generated by this line is no -keyfile:...
[18:44] <Denommus> ioria: I guess CSC should be the name of my csharp compiler
[18:45] <n00b> hi guys
[18:46] <ioria> Denommus,  i'd compile in C, first and correct the shell then
[18:46] <Denommus> ioria: CSC should probably be "csharp" instead of "no", and that's the problem
[18:47] <ioria> Denommus,  don't know, you can try
[18:47] <Denommus> ioria: that was it
[18:48] <ioria> Denommus,  compiled ?
[18:49] <Denommus> ioria: yup, I had to run make CSC=csharp
[18:50] <ioria> Denommus,  that's interesting
[18:52] <Kilikit_T> hi, just a quick q, linux peeps: I want to purge win7 starter from my sluggish and now fairly old netbook and replace it with linux. basically all I really want to do is some text editing, very occassional video chat, small amounts of web browsing, and some light coding tasks for my raspberry pi. what's the best ubuntu flavour for me?
[18:53] <Denommus> ok, now that it is compiled I must find out why it isn't installing XD
[18:53] <lotuspsychje> !flavors | Kilikit_T
[18:53] <zykotick9> Kilikit_T: if you are worried about netbook's resources, xubuntu is lighter then ubuntu, and lubuntu is lighter then xubuntu.  But, you might want to start by testing ubuntu and see?  best of luck.
[18:54] <Kilikit_T> you guys have macros for everything. thanks lotuspsychje
[18:55] <lotuspsychje> Kilikit_T: do you know wich grafix card inside that machine?
[18:55] <newbsduser> ebian
[18:55] <Kilikit_T> aw nope
[18:55] <Kilikit_T> I can find out two secs
[18:56] <newbsduser> hello, /bin/cp -fr testx testy ; echo $? gives me:  "/bin/cp: `testx' and `testy' are the same file", how can i bypass it want to see exit code 0 and overwrite the file...
[18:56] <lotuspsychje> Kilikit_T: anyway as zykotick9 suggests you could try ubuntu as first, see what it gives
[18:56] <impi> omfg
[18:56] <impi> im going crazy
[18:56] <lotuspsychje> impi: can we help you?
[18:56] <impi> ubuntu is SHIT.
[18:56] <lotuspsychje> !language | impi
[18:56] <Kilikit_T> gma 3150, I believe Intel
[18:57] <impi> i get a m3800 dell because it's punted as a ubuntu laptop
[18:57] <impi> nothing works.
[18:57] <impi> 2 weeks in. multiple kernels, nvidia worked with the edgers ppa 352 after one update everything is wrecked
[18:57] <lotuspsychje> Kilikit_T: to run smooth i would test xubuntu/lubuntu
[18:57] <Kilikit_T> I feel like I shhould just go with lubuntu
[18:58] <lotuspsychje> Kilikit_T: yeah for your needs, that will fit percetly :p
[18:58] <DJones> impi: Are you surprised? you've installed unsupported nvidia from the ppa, have you asked them how to fix?
[18:58] <f343nce> impi: ppa's are last resort use.
[18:58] <Denommus> dmcs instead of csharp works for both building and installing :-)
[18:58] <DJones> impi: This channel only supports software from the official repo's, ppa's are unofficial, and you do take your chance
[18:58] <impi> dj3000, i used the propriatry drivers in addition drivers, thats where the problems started clean install 14.04 that crashed my system
[18:59] <impi> DJones, ^^
[18:59] <Kilikit_T> just as a time saver, can anyone point me at a url for a downloadable installer to prepare a usb to load the install from? I can handle the bios boot-path stuff, just no experience iwth linux as such
[18:59] <lotuspsychje> Kilikit_T: try universal usb installer from ubuntu website
[18:59] <canine> So after setting up my apache2 website and moving it to a production droplet, I decided to disable root access. Then i logged in to ssh using a different user and overwrote index.html. Suddenly the website was showing a blank page. I did chown root on the file, but still nothing. It only worked after I rolled back the snapshot.
[18:59] <canine> Any idea why that happened?
[18:59] <f343nce> Kilikit_T: lots of usb loaders if that is the goal, check the web.
[19:00] <impi> look clean install 14.04 - additional drivers -> 331 propriatry drivers leaves you with a broken system
[19:00] <lotuspsychje> impi: did you enable internet+updates+3rd party software at ubuntu setup?
[19:00] <impi> lotuspsychje, yes
[19:00] <n00b> i have a problem with the touchpad
[19:01] <lotuspsychje> impi: so after clean install it crashed on you?
[19:01] <wakennn> is ubuntu minimal really a bare bones system? if i install GNOME3 will it become just as ubuntu non-minimal?
[19:01] <impi> yes, after clean install i install the nvidia 331  via additional drivers, broken system
[19:01] <impi> it's been downhill from there
[19:01] <tgm4883> impi: why did you clean install? It comes installed with ubuntu..
[19:01] <histo> wakennn: bare bone by ubuntu terms yes
[19:02] <n00b> anyone test snappy core??
[19:02] <lotuspsychje> impi: what was wrong with the drivers ubuntu choose at first?

[19:02] <wakennn> histo: what does it mean
[19:02] <lotuspsychje> n00b: check #snappy
[19:02] <impi> tgm4883, ceo ordered the laptop fron the states for me, as a gift, it landed up in south africa with windows on it
[19:02] <ahop> When doing """ifup wlan0""" on a system with / mounted as read-only (embedded computer), I get error        (no problem if / is rw)
[19:02] <n00b> lotuspsychje, you are rigth
[19:02] <f343nce> wakennn: minimal is base system no desktop, add what you like, it is a net install.
[19:02] <ahop> Do you know how to solve this?
[19:02] <ahop> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/209866/dhcp-and-read-only-root-filesystem
[19:02] <n00b> sorry, and sorry for my bad english jajaj
[19:03] <impi> lotuspsychje, it was the nevou(spelling) driver
[19:03] <lotuspsychje> impi: ok and what was wrong with nouveau?
[19:03] <tgm4883> impi: have you talked to Dell? In the past, they've had a special image for their Ubuntu offerings (although I thought that was no longer the case)
[19:03] <wakennn> f343nce: yes but if i install gnome 3 will it become just like normal ubuntu (with amazon stuff, compiz ... )?
[19:03] <impi> well, it wasn't using my gpu on my card K1100 nvidia
[19:04] <jakr> I ran Archive Manager to compress a folder into a .iso.  I got the error: The application Archive Manager has closed unexpectiedly.
[19:04] <f343nce> wakennn: gnome 3 is the gnome shell, no compiz it is not unity. Yes you will have a full gnome 3 shell if that ios what you install.
[19:04] <lotuspsychje> impi: is that an optimus card?
[19:05] <impi> tgm4883, i downloaded that image from the dell site, and have not booted with it, just installed the debs and booted into the kernel, and still not working - just doesnt use the nvidia gpu. I think I have to burn that to a disc and use that as installer somehow
[19:05] <f343nce> wakennn: Why the net install?
[19:05] <impi> lotuspsychje, yes
[19:05] <Kilikit_T> one more question guys
[19:05] <impi> the 352 open source drivers from edgers worked really well
[19:05] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | impi you need this
[19:06] <wakennn> f343nce: I am coming from Arch and want to setup just what I need myself
[19:06] <impi> it was great, then i installed the latest updates, and it's messed it up bad
[19:06] <wakennn> :)
[19:06] <Kilikit_T> is there a programme for lubuntu that can save as .txt files since i will be switching between os environments fairly regular. no probs if not I guss 'cause I can just email
[19:06] <impi> lotuspsychje, i have installed that
[19:06] <lotuspsychje> impi: did you enable performance mode with nvidia-settings?
[19:07] <jakr> My error message is: "You have some obsolete package versions installed.  Please upgrade the following packages..."
[19:07] <f343nce> wakennn: Ah, however you have described will "I Have" apps from two desktops, unity is one the gnome shell the other.
[19:07] <impi> lotuspsychje, at the moment, nvidia settings tells me i am not using a nvidia card - i cant seem to get it working at all
[19:07] <xangua> jakr: and this message shows after what? what ubuntu release do you use?
[19:07] <impi> man im really disappointed - really bad show of ubuntu
[19:07] <lotuspsychje> impi: if you have the correct driver, you should be able to choose intel/nvidia
[19:08] <lotuspsychje> impi: then choose nvidia- performance mode
[19:08] <tgm4883> impi: from what it sounds like you did, I'm not 100% I'd blame Ubuntu
[19:09] <jakr> xangua, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
[19:09] <wakennn> f343nce: oh sorry I didn't mean just desktops, I mean stuff like the amazon stuff, default programs like firefox etc. or if that is all done by me?
[19:09] <lotuspsychje> impi: remove that ppa or bumblebee (if you installed)
[19:09] <jakr> xangua, I recieved the message after trying to compress a folder into a .iso file
[19:10] <f343nce> wakennn: the amazon stuff is part of the unity desktop. The net install is the best beyond a personal build to getting just what you want, that will be supported here. If you stay within the ubuntu repos.
[19:11] <impi> tgm4883, well just google for nvidia black screen, or login loop and then reconsidder blaming ubuntu
[19:11] <lotuspsychje> Kilikit_T: just add .txt at the end of your file
[19:11] <tgm4883> impi: I'm not sure the relevance.
[19:11] <lotuspsychje> impi: there's no need to blame anything, focus on your issue
[19:12] <lotuspsychje> impi: remove your ppa and test another driver
[19:12] <f343nce> wakennn: Lots of desktop choices, all can be removed/purged as needed if you know how.
[19:12] <impi> but hang on a second
[19:12] <impi> if i go to additional drivers
[19:12] <impi> and i install the 331 propriatry driver
[19:12] <impi> will that still pull from the ppa?
[19:13] <lotuspsychje> impi: its wise to not install things from ppa's
[19:13] <lotuspsychje> !ppa | impi
[19:13] <wakennn> thanks f343nce
[19:14] <su> Hi, i want to get my screen at 640x480, but the lowest is 800x600. How can i get it 640x480?
[19:15] <acovrig> one question: *why*?
[19:15] <ioria> su i can lend you my monitor
[19:15] <wakennn> what is better for creating usb drives with OS install media: "dd bs=4M if=... of=..." or "dd bs=4M if=... of=... && sync" ?
[19:16] <Guest43597> hello everyone
[19:16] <stupidwolf> hello everyone
[19:16] <stupidwolf> need help here..
[19:16] <lotuspsychje> !ask | stupidwolf
[19:16] <TJ-> wakennn: 'sync' just forces cached blocks to be flushed to the underlying devices immediately without waiting for the write-back cache timeout
[19:16] <f343nce> stupidwolf: Do we guess?
[19:17] <molgrum> hey i have a 100/10 fiber connection, i assume running "apt-get clean" is safe for me then?
[19:17] <wakennn> TJ-: I can do without sync ?
[19:17] <impi> lotuspsychje, tgm4883 thanks for the help, im going to try and get this thing working again
[19:17] <Bashing-om> su: 640x480 may be out of range for the hardware; From a grub prompt ' vbeinfo ' is that resolutiion shown ?
[19:17] <f343nce> wakennn: No problem, I like a gui in your last question myself. ;) love arch ran it many times
[19:17] <TJ-> wakennn: I'd keep it... it ensure if you remove the media (after sync) it has all data written to it
[19:18] <wakennn> ok thanks
[19:18] <stupidwolf> just install 15.04 dual with win8, boot animation missing only black screen,

[19:20] <Kilikit_T> hey here's a q for the channel. are there any linux distros that don't feature guis? I would be so into that
[19:20] <pluxev> heya, my dad has had me using ubuntu for 5+ years now. I am interested in trying other systems. What is similar to ubuntu but could potentially be better?
[19:20] <tgm4883> Kilikit_T: like Ubuntu server?
[19:20] <lotuspsychje> pluxev: ubuntu is the most popular one
[19:20] <Kilikit_T> ubuntu server hey? basically like going back to dos days for all intents and purposes?
[19:21] <tgm4883> Kilikit_T: yes, it's command line only
[19:21] <Kilikit_T> essentially I'm going to want one machine which is solely for writing
[19:21] <lotuspsychje> pluxev: maybe more a question for ##linux ?
[19:21] <v3n0m> hi
[19:22] <pluxev> k thanks
[19:22] <f343nce> pluxev: Many linux "system" are more the same than different in the base system, and the desktops are not much different. Most have what the others have in their repos.
[19:22] <stupidwolf> disable it will make boot faster isnt it?  how i do that?(soory i'm really noob)
[19:23] <v3n0m> apt-get blow up server

[19:25] <v3n0m> anyone know sting3r
[19:26] <tgm4883> molgrum: why would the speed of your connection affect the answer to that question?
[19:26] <lotuspsychje> v3n0m: this channel is for ubuntu support only mate

[19:27] <stupidwolf> lotuspsychje: well it's my first time using ubuntu, hope u can help me
[19:28] <lotuspsychje> stupidwolf: just make an usb stick with ubuntu 14.04 LTS and disable secureboot+fastboot in bios then boot into setup
[19:28] <bunty_> hi

[19:34] <kuba7447> duque, welcome to the community
[19:35] <unknown_user> duque: I mean, are you liking this distro?

[19:35] <unknown_user> lotuspsychje: Sorry, it wasn't my intention.
[19:35] <duque> thanks kuba

[19:48] <lotuspsychje> angela_: try previous kernel again from grub?
[19:48] <f343nce> lukaluka: Try booting from a previus kernel, number of reasons this can happen, details are the key here.

[19:50] <angela_> lotuspsychje: yes
[19:50] <lukaluka> f343nce thanks. I need to log in recovery mode to change my home directories ownership, but I can't
[19:50] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Broken proprietary grahics driver ? Can you login to console ( at logins screen keycombo ctl+alt+F1) ?
[19:51] <lukaluka> Bashing-om that's the problem. I got Nvidia GPU. c+a+f1 just gives me pure black
[19:51] <f343nce> lukaluka: Are you doing this, with any understanding, or just runing commands hoping?
[19:51] <MotoUnix> hey guys
[19:51] <MotoUnix> how you doing ?
[19:51] <A1Recon> oh god.... Reading syslog is hard. Lotsof jargon and MAC IDs, username, file locations....
[19:51] <Ben64> lukaluka: try doing a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331"
[19:52] <bunty> #ubuntu-desktop

[19:52] <k1l> v3n0m: no its not.
[19:52] <v3n0m> yah
[19:52] <bunty> is is possible to install ubuntu desktop on my nexus 7 tablet??
[19:52] <k1l> v3n0m: use sudo -i if you really need a root shell.
[19:53] <f343nce> lukaluka: Stop that thread and lokk at the answers here, seems to most likely a graphic driver issue and just needs reloaded.
[19:53] <v3n0m> ok
[19:53] <k1l> bunty: better ask in #ubuntu-arm

[19:58] <lotuspsychje> justicefries: maybe the #i3 guys can help you?
[19:58] <f343nce> lukaluka: Ah, I would chroot to it from a live, if there is really no cli access, however others here can probably get you to one, this is an issue I have not had to really work on.
[19:58] <justicefries> welp, I tried #i3wm

[20:01] <justicefries> EricBB may be better to ask in the Apache room. :)
[20:01] <lukaluka> Bashing-om sure. Thanks for your time!
[20:03] <lotuspsychje> A1Recon: no errors there, try the ubuntu disktool: smart test etc
[20:03] <lotuspsychje> tomeo: same for you mate, try the ubuntu disktool and run some tests
[20:04] <A1Recon> lotuspsychje: the disk doesn't support SMART tests.... Tried badblocks it would take around 6 hrs to complete with the -v flag.
[20:05] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: All modern drives support S.M.A.R.T. It's *possible* that your USB enclosure doesn't support passing on S.M.A.R.T. commands, but even that is unlikely.
[20:06] <RoBo_V> Guys, best way to schedule auto wake up ?
[20:07] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[20:10] <lotuspsychje> RoBo_V: you mean wake up on lan from bios?
[20:10] <lukaluka> Bashing-om ok, to my understanding, I need to modify grub config file. The problem I am having right now is that I can't get into my grub boot menu by pressing SHIFT  during boot up because my GRUB is set to hide the OS selection menu on boot by default.
[20:11] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721514/ Output for only the /dev/sdb
[20:11] <lukaluka> ubottu thanks for your link. I can't modify grub config file in my case. Can't access grub boot menu because it is hidden by default.
[20:11] <RoBo_V> lotuspsychje: that is already happening, i mean to schedule wakeup from rtc within system
[20:11] <RoBo_V> possible ?

[20:13] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: The thing is my /dev/sda has got some badblocks.... I want to copy all the data from the 2(NTFS) of the 3 partitions of my internal HDD to the new external one. Before starting the copying process i just want to see if the /dev/sdb1 is ok or not...
[20:13] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: Despite its name, testdisk is *not* a tool for checking disks. It's a tool for recovering files and fixing partition tables.
[20:14] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: So I have to run badblocks then??
[20:14] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: If you really want to be thorough, yes.
[20:14] <RoBo_V> thanks lotuspsychje
[20:15] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: The last time I ran Analyse in testdisk for /dev/sdb1 I got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721133/
[20:15] <histo> A1Recon: testdisk is not the right tool for checking your drive
[20:15] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: Please pastebin the output of "sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb".
[20:17] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: I am back, and lookin at your reference .
[20:17] <lukaluka> Bashing-om thank ~
[20:17] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: "sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb1" output http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721560/
[20:18] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: Please run commands exactly as given.
[20:18] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: Again, testdisk is *not* a tool for testing disks. Those errors are related to the process of recovering deleted partitions, a process that you don't need to do and is thus not at all relevant.
[20:19] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: OK, Is your system UEFI ?
[20:19] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: OK got it about testdisk
[20:19] <histo> A1Recon: western digital has diagnostic utilities available to check yoru disk use those. If you are worried. You do realize the failure rate is extermely low on new hardware. Seems to me like a waste of time.
[20:20] <lukaluka> Bashing-om a ha, I don't know what is UEFI, let me google that for a sec
[20:20] <histo> A1Recon: selecting an appropriate backup and restoration plan for the data would be a better use of time then relying on some tool you don't understand how to use.
[20:20] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: /dev/sdb1 is the external HDD. If I run sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb, I get this "/dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x1058:0x0820 (0x1012)] Please specify device type with the -d option."

[20:23] <macskay> It's not in the linux tools
[20:24] <A1Recon> histo: OK histo, tell me this. A few years ago, when I tried to copy data from a bad HDD to a flashdrive, the Windows gave me "Cyclic Redundancy Error" and exited. I think Ubuntu's simple copy and paste would do that too. Is it possible to copy bit by bit whatever is there on the internal HDD's 2 partitions to the 2 separate folders on the external HDD? I don't care if there's some error, just it shouldn't stop copying midway. Is the
[20:25] <histo> A1Recon: you can use ddrescue to recovery data from failing drives.
[20:25] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: /dev/sdb1 is not a device node for a drive, it's a device node for the first partition on a drive. While smartctl is smart enough to figure out what you actually mean when you pass it a partition, but I'm very surprised to see it refuse "/dev/sdb", so much so that I'm thinking that you simply mistyped something. Please run "sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb" and pastebin the full output, copying the portion of your ...
[20:25] <Jordan_U> ... terminal showing the command as well.
[20:26] <histo> Jordan_U: it's an external drive probably something with western digitals silly usb interface causing all sorts of havoc
[20:26] <lukaluka> Bashing-om ubuntu is my sole OS on that pc, and I use automatic installer " Erase the disk and install", would that grant me UEFI system?
[20:27] <lukaluka> Bashing-om or any info useful I can provide?
[20:27] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: Here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721651/
[20:28] <histo> A1Recon: so are you still trying to recover data from the failing drive from "A few years ago" or what are you asking??
[20:28] <bagginsDK> hello, i don't know how to install oracle DB. I saw a tutorial asking for Kernel changes and i don't want to go so deep. Is there any simpler way?
[20:29] <Semiarty> so... I've been playing around and I was reading a guide on how to get ubuntu servers IP static and I deleted DHCP-client, now I want to get it back, but I have no connection to the internet and thus have to do it manually, I downloaded dhcp client and transfered it onto my usb flash, I'm trying to install dhcp-client and I am getting errors---> "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration
[20:29] <Semiarty> of isc-dhcp-client: isc-dhcp-client depends on isc-dhcp-common (=4.1.ESV-R4-Oubuntu5.5); however: Version of isc-dhcp-common on system is 4.2.4-7ubuntu12.2. and "isc-dhcp-client depends on iproute; however: package iproute is not installed"
[20:29] <A1Recon> histo: No I just gave you an example of what happened all those years ago. Now I just want to get the data from my Laptop's internal HDD to the external HDD.
[20:29] <Semiarty> so as far as I understand something does not match up, as in version, but I am not sure on how to proceed next
[20:30] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: No, UEFI is a firmware interface of the mainboard system to that of the operating system. That firmware is already set . Now how you access grub is depebdent on that tupe of firmware .
[20:30] <MonkeyDust> Semiarty  seems to me, you have to install iproute, first
[20:31] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: That is bizarre. This post: http://superuser.com/questions/482404/check-ssd-health-without-using-smart shows that some drives support S.M.A.R.T. but claim not to, and your drive might be one of these. Even if S.M.A.R.T. can be made to work with this drive/enclosure I would return it as defective for not supporting it properly. If it can't be made to support S.M.A.R.T. then you should definitely return it.
[20:32] <A1Recon> histo: Reading from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery there are 2 ddrescue programs, are you talking about the GNU ddrescue or just the ddrescue?
[20:32] <impi> yeh, something is definitely wrong with ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia 331 (propriatry/tested) drivers
[20:33] <lukaluka> Bashing-om ok, if I enter BIOS,  I could see my boot mode is set to be legacy + UEFI, and ubuntu is in my first boot option: UEFI Hard Disk: ubuntu
[20:33] <impi> clean install, install this driver from the additional drivers screen and after reboot i get "system running in low graphics mode"
[20:34] <lotuspsychje> impi: did you install nvidia-prime after?
[20:34] <impi> lotuspsychje, no - just clean install and the propriatry driver
[20:35] <lotuspsychje> impi: we talked about this earlier mate, if your card is optimus you need nvidia-prime package
[20:35] <lotuspsychje> impi: then enable performance mode from nvidia-settings
[20:35] <impi> mmm ill try install it, but i mean the basics dont work
[20:35] <impi> no otherway to put it
[20:36] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: K; Making progress; OK UEFI syste, ! Access grub : Reboot, and as soon as the setup screen clears, repeatedly depress and release the escape key ( only a 3 second window of oportunity). Now do you get the grub menu ?
[20:36] <Semiarty> MonkeyDust doesn't work: "iproute conflicts with arpd; iproute provides arpd and is present and installed. dpkg: error processing archive iproute...deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing iproute"
[20:36] <lukaluka> Bashing-om in there right now
[20:36] <f343nce> impi: The basics are understanding what your doing and told, and remembering.
[20:37] <impi> no the basics is activating an additional driver, and rebooting to a graphical interface
[20:37] <impi> error free at least
[20:37] <impi> thats the basics.
[20:38] <f343nce> impi: If you stay in that mind set you will continuosly need help, you have to do some research on the hardware and software.
[20:38] <lotuspsychje> impi: your card has optimus technology and the nvidia card needs to be enabled with nvidia-prime
[20:39] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: With the top most ubuntu kernel selected, 'e' key for edit mode -> boot options screen; arrow down to the line starting with linux, arrow across to quiet splash, replace "quiet splash" with the term nomodeset. Key combo ctl+x to continue the boot process, Do you now boot to the GUI ?
[20:39] <impi> then there should be a notice at that driver screen that says - please install nvidia prime otherwise your laptop will be borked after a reboot
[20:39] <whoawostb> If I turn off compositing in xorg.conf, is it normal to get logged right out and sent right back to login screen after logging in?
[20:41] <lotuspsychje> impi: every card is different, thats not ubuntu's fault
[20:42] <impi> your missing the point, thats the job of the operating system to support these cards
[20:42] <lotuspsychje> impi: drivers react different on different hardwaren not the Os fault
[20:43] <Jordan_U> impi: This channel is not for reporting bugs, and trying to do so will only waste time as your reuests will never make it to developers. Please stick to productive support discussion in this channel.
[20:43] <Jordan_U> !bug | impi
[20:43] <lukaluka> Bashing-om yes, right now
[20:44] <impi> i feel that after buying a 3K laptop, which is built and punted as ubuntu ready that this should not be the outcome
[20:44] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705098.pdf It does support SMART but something is up with WD's Enclosure or USB implementation.
[20:44] <impi> im all for loggin bugs, but if you go and look there are duplicates upon duplicates of this very bug
[20:44] <lotuspsychje> impi: you can check sudo lshw -C video to check wich driver loaded and wich card active
[20:44] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Right ; OK, we need a terminal .. what results with key combo ctl+alt+F1 ?
[20:45] <lukaluka> Bashing-om give me a sec
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> impi: just try nvidia-prime, switch drivers and enable performance mode
[20:46] <Jordan_U> A1Recon: Again, I would return it as defective.
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> impi: best driver, is the one working best for your card
[20:46] <impi> im going to try that definitely, im sure you are right
[20:47] <lukaluka> Bashing-om I boot into not so GUI interface. It's more terminal like. I can see ubuntu login: _
[20:47] <A1Recon> Jordan_U: What is the command to check SMART status? Also put in the flags
[20:47] <impi> it's just 2 weeks in, 3 installs, multiple kernels, multiple drivers, nvidia-prime, black screen bug, low graphics mode errors - at some point you get to where i am now which is a little irritated by the mission
[20:47] <lukaluka> Bashing-om then I log in, now I am in the terminal. ^^
[20:49] <Jordan_U> impi: That doesn't change the fact that continuing to rant about it here doesn't get any bug closer to being fixed, but does waste our time. Please stop.
[20:49] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: OK, now we want to know what the hardware is . To pass that info we ned to install a tool . do: ' sudo apt-get install pastebinit ' .
[20:50] <impi> Jordan_U, the only reason your time is being wasted is because you dont admit this is a bug
[20:50] <impi> it's this then that, then this
[20:50] <lukaluka> Bashing-om oh, god... somehow wifi is broken now... give me a sec
[20:51] <Jordan_U> impi: I never said that it wasn't a bug. This is your last warning, stop this and any other unproductive discussion.
[20:51] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: No hurry . ( got access to a wired connection ?)
[20:52] <lukaluka> Bashing-om let me grab my 40 ft ethernet cable orz
[20:53] <histo> A1Recon: just copy the data to it then, use rsync or whatever you want
[20:54] <histo> A1Recon: as far as ddrescue you want the gddrescue version if you ever have to use it.
[20:56] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Panic not. Just proceed in a calm and orderly fashion.
[20:56] <Semiarty> I am trying to do: sudo apt-get install dhcp-client and I get message: "Package dhcp-client is a virtual package provided by: isc-dhcp-client 4.2.4-7ubuntu12.2. ; pump 0.8.24-7 ;  dhcpcd5 6.05-1.1 ; You should explicitly select one to install. ; E: Package 'dhcp-client' has no installation candidate". How and what version do I choose to explicitly select to install?
[20:57] <lukaluka> Bashing-om sure. Thanks. the package is installed now
[20:58] <Pici> Semiarty: isc-dhcp-client is the one normally installed.
[20:59] <A1Recon> histo: Thinking about using grsync .... What does the Windows compatibility option do?
[20:59] <A1Recon> histo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
[20:59] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: OK, terminal command 'sudo lshw -C display | pastebinit' the result is a URL , pass that complete URL back here . We see what it is we are dealing with to advise better .
[21:00] <histo> A1Recon: windows compatibiltiy option is probably for timestamp comparisons
[21:01] <lukaluka> Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721811
[21:02] <histo> A1Recon: FAT uses a 2 second resolution for time stamps.  So you can tell rsync to accept values that are off by up to a second so it doesn't think the files differ.
[21:02] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721811 .
[21:02] <zykotick9> Bashing-om: IMO, that sure doesn't show much... but nvidia?!?!
[21:03] <lukaluka> Bashing-om yes?
[21:03] <lukaluka> Bashing-om looking like the motherboard didnt recognize my GPU?
[21:04] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: zykotick9 Yeah, bit it so show there is no driver loaded . lukaluka ; next pastebin 'lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 | pastebinit' so we know the graphics set up .
[21:06] <lukaluka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721842/
[21:06] <lukaluka> Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721842/
[21:07] <A1Recon> histo: Apparently rsync fails to get corrupted files but  but .... here's the best part ... it outputs the error files in a log. So the plan is to run Grsync, see what files are missing or were not copied.... and go after those files using specific programs for file recovery. Good enough??
[21:08] <zykotick9> Bashing-om: lukaluka fyi debian's judd pciid pasted to http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721855/
[21:09] <histo> A1Recon: I thought we weren't doing file recovery. You said you just wanted to copy the files.
[21:10] <v3n0m> can you get day z
[21:10] <A1Recon> histo: Copy files, yes. Some files might be corrupted so file recovery, too.
[21:10] <Bashing-om> zykotick9: checking that http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721855/ !! lukaluka .
[21:11] <histo> A1Recon: How did the files get corrupted?
[21:11] <lukaluka> zykotick9 Bashing-om yes I saw~~ though I don't know how to make use of it ~
[21:12] <lukaluka> zykotick9 Bashing-om enlighten me plz XD
[21:12] <zykotick9> lukaluka: at least judd recognizes it as an nvidia GM200 [GeForce GTX TITAN X] i have zero suggestions on gettin' it working, sorry.  best of luck!
[21:13] <lukaluka> zykotick9 no problem. Thanks
[21:13] <histo> A1Recon: I have to go but perhaps if you state your problem clearly other people can help.
[21:13] <histo> !details | A1Recon
[21:14] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: zykotick9 :: getting into deep waters here myself, twin Nvidia cards .. is this a SLI situation ?
[21:16] <lukaluka> Bashing-om zykotick9  I do attach SLI link to connect them, but it's not necessary. I could take it off. if that would help. But... you think the reason that I couldn't log in after update is caused by proprietary GPU driver?
[21:17] <A1Recon> histo: Ran SMART test on the internal HDD of my Laptop one day using the "Disks". Just checking what SMART TESTs were. Lo and behold SMART tests failed. Then googled and ran badblocks, it spit out 12 bad blocks. Further confirmation was when I booted up Windows, and it started running CHKDSK utility and it "recovered" some files and put it in a folder called "found.000" in NewVolume (First data partition in my HDD). [Part 1/2 because
[21:17] <AmazonianDude> How do I check my Ubuntu 14.04 HDD for bad sectors?
[21:18] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: While we ponder : How did you install the drivers . PPA ? show ' tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | pastebinit ' . // as of now there is no graphics driver installed, and we must install one to drive the GUI .
[21:18] <badbodh> AmazonianDude, fsck them
[21:19] <lukaluka> Bashing-om I install drive from here. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/84043/en-us
[21:19] <badbodh> 'man fsck' for details in terminal
[21:20] <AmazonianDude> Yes but is it possible to do it while the HDD is logged into ubuntu or do I do it from a live cd
[21:20] <lukaluka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721896/
[21:20] <lukaluka> Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721896/
[21:21] <lukaluka> Bashing-om but  i did install drivers for sure. otherwise I wont be able to use nvidia CUDA
[21:22] <A1Recon> histo: I figured Windows has a bad track record for failing HDDs, so I stopped booting up my Windows(Ubuntu - Win 7 Dual Boot). I haven't gone back to Windows boot after that. Don't mount New Volume unless absolutely necessary and I haven't written anything in that partition. Fast forward to today. Got my HDD. Wanted to check whether its fine (hence the badblocks, testdisk, etc. talk a few hrs ago). And here I am reading up on rsync 
[21:22] <A1Recon> histo: Part 2/2 ^
[21:22] <badbodh> AmazonianDude, live
[21:23] <A1Recon> histo: Was that summary sufficient?
[21:23] <RoBo_V> IDK my server waking up auto every morning 5.30, how to diagnose it ?
[21:23] <badbodh> AmazonianDude, data drives can be repaired in normal boot, root drive better repaired from live
[21:23] <lukaluka> Bashing-om the process of installing driver is via the scrip download from that nvidia link, all the internal procedures are hidden from me.
[21:24] <A1Recon> histo is long gone...
[21:24] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: What happened is that there was a kernel upgrade, now that Nvidia driver was built against the old kernel, and the driver broke when the kernel was upgraded, There is no PPA involved here so it is back to the Nvidia installer to re-install the driver againt the new kernel. Does the Nvidia .run file still exist ? show ' sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*" | pastebinit ' .
[21:26] <lukaluka> Bashing-om empty document
[21:26] <guest8574> I love Ubuntu. It has no bugs! http://tinyurl.com/nln3h52
[21:27] <AmazonianDude> badbodh: i don't trust ubuntu's upgrading mechanism anymore. Last time I tried doing an upgrade through the update manager it booted into a black screen and rendered unusable. was able to rescue data, and reinstall ubuntu on same drive.
[21:27] <lukaluka> Bashing-om so you suggest I reinstall the nvidia driver?
[21:28] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Humm .. makes no sense, does not compure, let me double check my command syntax . and while i do .. what returns ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | pastebinit ' .
[21:28] <Bashing-om> compute*
[21:29] <badbodh> AmazonianDude, in grub > advanced/other boot options select an older kernel. ubuntu does mess up updates :D don't update things like kernel,xorg,video card drivers
[21:29] <AmazonianDude> So you're saying canonical releases a flawed OS.
[21:30] <lukaluka> Bashing-om empty string again, let me check if it's my typo
[21:30] <guest8574> AmazonianDude: It's beyond flawed.
[21:31] <Panasonic> so, I had the same problem listed in two bugs on launchpad, someone can take a look?
[21:31] <lukaluka> Bashing-om no typo
[21:32] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: I can not imigine why there would now be no Nvidia files existent on the system . any return ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ?
[21:32] <Panasonic> its ok to post the link to the bugs here or should put them in paste?
[21:32] <AmazonianDude> guest8574: Should not be released to the general public until they can fix the ubuntu messing up updates problem
[21:32] <k1l> AmazonianDude: ubuntu got automated testings for the upgrades. so if it breaks for you there might be some hardware or package issue which is not a general issue,
[21:32] <AmazonianDude> Ah then nvm. That makes sense.
[21:32] <lukaluka> Bashing-om no... empty.
[21:33] <AmazonianDude> Well brb. Fsck'ing.
[21:33] <k1l> AmazonianDude: and where does the updates issue relate to your drive having bad sectors?
[21:33] <lukaluka> Bashing-om but I did install 349.16 driver before
[21:34] <k1l> and btw did his "ubuntu broke the update" like a "i want the latest video driver so i load stuff from some website that breaks on a new kernel"
[21:34] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Sheeeshh .. I have no clue why the Nvidia files are removed. OK, once more from the Nvidia site, .... (RE-)install the driver .
[21:36] <lukaluka> Bashing-om aha, ok, on the way~
[21:37] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: K. I am here on pins and needles . Just Have never ever encountered where Nvidia driver was installed, and just up and disappears !
[21:38] <lukaluka> Bashing-om XD, let's proceed in calm and ordered fashion XD
[21:39] <lukaluka> Bashing-om dl ing driver
[21:41] <lukaluka> Bashing-om ok, the problem is there still an x server running on the back, so I am going to get into recovery mode and, install driver there
[21:41] <zykotick9> Bashing-om: lukaluka just a sidenote/fyi, but #debian's "why nvidia installer sucks" factoid pasted to http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721965/
[21:42] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Try .. If unity .. ' sudo service lightdm stop ' (14.04) will stop X .

[21:43] <Bashing-om> zykotick9: I can use a chuckle at this point .
[21:43] <zykotick9> Bashing-om: ;)
[21:44] <lukaluka> zykotick9 hahah, I agree.
[21:44] <RoBo_V> hey guys my rtc is off then why system waking up every morning 5.30 ?
[21:45] <Bashing-om> zykotick9: That is a fact ! Always try and use inhouse resources when possible .. But but with SLI, best I recall we have no support for SLI .
[21:45] <lukaluka> Bashing-om Err: your kernel headers for kernel 3.16.0-40-generic can't be found.
[21:46] <lukaluka> Bashing-om and the install scrip suggest me install that header package, should I?
[21:47] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: What have you done ??? .. PK, let's look at the header situation . ' ls -al /usr/src/ | pasteninit ' . We fix !
[21:48] <lukaluka> Bashing-om I was running driver install scripts only...  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11721997/

[21:54] <Fun> sorry :D
[21:56] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Humm .. Wonder what the installer is doing .. There sure is no -40 header .. ok, back to the 1st rule when installing. Make sure we are fully updated. do ' sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' .

[22:27] <samer> hello
[22:28] <lukaluka> Bashing-om fyi, this happened once before when I was using 15.04.  I didin't know IRC then, so end up reinstall 14.04. till this morning update breaks my system again.
[22:29] <[Saint]> breaks how?
[22:30] <lukaluka> [Saint] after update I can't login anymore. type in pwd and return to original login window, infinite loop.
[22:31] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Humm .. you are using 14.04 and yet you have utopic's kernel ?
[22:32] <[Saint]> lukaluka: have you tried dropping into single user mode?
[22:32] <lukaluka> Bashing-om  I don't understand, beyond my linux understanding XD
[22:33] <lukaluka> [Saint] not yet. now Bashing-om  is working with me, try to nail what's going wrong
[22:34] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: We will work through this . The latest kernel for 14.04 : sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r >> 3.13.0-54-generic .
[22:34] <[Saint]> Hold shift during boot, press 'e' to edit the boot commands, append 'single' after 'quiet splash' in the boot params (these changes aren't persistent), press F10 to boot, and see if it'll let you login in a purely text based environment.
[22:36] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: a) the -40 kernel is available. b) what is on your system ' ls -al /boot ' ? c) what are you booting ' uname -r " ?
[22:38] <lukaluka> Bashing-om b) 11722155 c) 3.16.0-40-generic ..... now I am really confused... I do have -40?
[22:39] <lukaluka> [Saint] we just replaced spash to nomodeset, and in text env for a while ~
[22:41] <SchrodingersScat> AmazonianDude: e2fsck doesn't check drives for bad sectors?
[22:41] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: 11722155 ?? get " paste.ubuntu.com/11722155/ - did not match any documents." .
[22:42] <lukaluka> Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/11722155/
[22:42] <lukaluka> Bashing-om mn? that link works for me, can you see?
[22:44] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Do not know what I did formerly wrong. Yeah the -40 kernel is there, but a later one is availabale, let's reboot, and go through the 'nomodeset' routine once mre and see if we now come up on the -41 kernel (uname -r ).
[22:44] <dgarstang> Upstart... I want to write an upstart job, but since there's no daemon running, when I call stop it fails. How can upstart handle that?
[22:44] <lukaluka> Bashing-om k, on it
[22:45] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Nother thought .. get some operating head room (??) let's remove those old no-longer-needed kernels ; ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' .
[22:46] <Kilikit_T> in language settings during install, what's the difference between extended winkeys, intenrationioal with dead kets, and bog standard english uk
[22:46] <lukaluka> Bashing-om done both. we got 41 after uname -r
[22:47] <dgarstang> Upstart... I want to write an upstart job, but since there's no daemon running, when I call stop it fails. How can upstart handle that?
[22:49] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Wow that was fast . OK, what do we have Nvidia on the system ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ?
[22:49] <lukaluka> Bashing-om empty
[22:50] <lukaluka> Bashing-om wanna try install long live driver this time?
[22:50] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: That do blow me away that Nvidia does not exist . OK, again download from Nvidia and see what happens now . And yeah the long live version .
[22:51] <[Saint]> Kilikit_T: different keyboard layouts, with or without certain elements - ask Google about the (largely subtle) differences. If you're unsure which option to choose, it can detect which keyboard to use by way of asking you to type in specific samples and answering a few simple questions.
[22:51] <[Saint]> Though pretty much everything these days in just En-US QWERTY in my experience.
[22:53] <lukaluka> Bashing-om install succeed
[22:53] <lukaluka> Bashing-om reboot?
[22:57] <Kilikit_T> thank you, aplty named saint
[22:57] <[Saint]> Not a problem my friend.
[22:58] <dgarstang> Upstart... I want to write an upstart job, but since there's no daemon running, when I call stop it fails. How can upstart handle that?
[23:01] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Yeah ! let's reboot at this time and see if ya come up normally to the GUI .
[23:02] <lukaluka> Bashing-om the os back to normal now ~ I can log in just like old days XD
[23:03] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Outstanding ! .. We do have lift off !
[23:04] <dgarstang> Upstart... I want to write an upstart job, but since there's no daemon running, when I call stop it fails. How can upstart handle that?
[23:04] <teward> dgarstang: if there's no daemon running, it can't.
[23:04] <lukaluka> Bashing-om yeah ~~ so basically we do reinstall gpu driver, update os, and remove some packages, really thanks for your time!
[23:04] <teward> dgarstang: what is your use case for the upstart job?
[23:05] <dgarstang> teward: job to add ec2 instances's IP to DNS on boot, and remove it on shutdown. Or... another to add a node to chef server on boot, and remove on shutdown.
[23:05] <lukaluka> Bashing-om I learned a new way to get into terminal XD can I ask you one more question? what IRC client are you using?
[23:05] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: Hey, glad to help. Be aware, each time the kernel is upgraded, will have to (RE-)install the graphics driver .
[23:06] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: My client is irssi . fast, light, and configuarable .
[23:07] <lukaluka> Bashing-om will def give it a try. and do you recommend me upgrade to 15.04?
[23:07] <dgarstang> teward: It seems that upstart is not capable of managing startup/shutdown jobs that don't spawn daemons.
[23:08] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: I am not a proponent of non LTS releases, except for testing and/or hardware issues. irssi : see: http://www.andrews-corner.org/ubuntu/irssi.html .
[23:09] <lukaluka> Bashing-om fair enough. Let me install irssi now XD thanks for your time!
[23:10] <Bashing-om> lukaluka: You will pass it own . We are open source ... 1 for all and all for one .
[23:11] <lukaluka> Bashing-om ^^
[23:13] <dgarstang> So, since it seems that upstart isn't able to handle stopping scripts that don't have daemons, what other options might I ahve to run a job on shutdown? Old fashioned system V init?
[23:16] <[Saint]> dgarstang: cron
[23:17] <[Saint]> dgarstang: or....actually, hmmm.
[23:18] <[Saint]> You could play with /etc/rc6.d/
[23:18] <[Saint]> I _think_ runlevel 6 is shutdown, but, don't quote me on it.
[23:18] <EriC^^> i think 0 is
[23:18] <[Saint]> Hmmm.
[23:19] <EriC^^> somebody google
[23:19] <[Saint]> AH, you're right.
[23:19] <[Saint]> 6 is restart.
[23:19] <[Saint]> 0 is shutdown.
[23:19] <[Saint]> Thanks, EriC^^
[23:19] <bazhang> !runlevel
[23:20] <[Saint]> Well, that was rather useless. Thanks, ubottu. ;p
[23:21] <Ranger15> Has anyone had good luck at all with Intel 7260 wifi/bluetooth card on 15.04?
[23:22] <itaylor57> Ranger15: working here
[23:22] <Ranger15> I have one and it disappears on suspend. lspci gone.     Or Stops working after along idle time.
[23:23] <Ranger15> I have tried a few different firmware versions.
[23:23] <Ranger15> itaylor57,  no problems at all?
[23:23] <itaylor57> none
[23:24] <Ranger15> itaylor57,  are you on 15.04?
[23:24] <itaylor57> yes
[23:24] <Ranger15> cool
[23:24] <Ranger15> what firmware version?
[23:24] <itaylor57> no idea
[23:24] <Ranger15> one sec i will get the command, if you dont mind
[23:25] <itaylor57> sure
[23:25] <Ranger15> do mind ?
[23:25] <itaylor57> i do not mind
[23:25] <Ranger15> dont want to bug you
[23:25] <itaylor57> not a problem
[23:25] <Ranger15> k brb
[23:30] <regedit> please help! 15.04 here, I accidentally my /etc/default/grub :(
[23:31] <regedit> i have a whole UEFI setup, does that mean that file had special non-default settings in it?
[23:31] <neonixcoder> Good day all. I am trying to install an Option modem module in Ubuntu 14.04 by using dkms..
[23:32] <neonixcoder> I am able to add module using "dkms –ldtarball --archive=hso-1.x.x.tar.gz"
[23:32] <neonixcoder> And I can see installed module by using "dkms status"
[23:33] <itaylor57> Ranger15: firmware=25.17.12.0
[23:33] <neonixcoder> but when I try to build module by using "dkms build –m hso –v 1.10.0" I am getting HSO can not be handled..
[23:33] <neonixcoder> Any suggestions team?
[23:34] <Ranger15> itaylor57,  how did you get that?
[23:34] <Ranger15> man i have done this so many times i can figure it out this time.
[23:34] <itaylor57> http://askubuntu.com/questions/372044/what-firmware-is-my-wireless-card-is-using
[23:36] <Ranger15> itaylor57,   25.17.12.0
[23:37] <Ranger15> same as you
[23:37] <Ranger15> strange
[23:37] <Ranger15> and that was the first command I ran but just was in to much of hurry to grep for firmware.. oh well
[23:38] <Ranger15> itaylor57, what kernal you running?
[23:38] <Ranger15> uname -a
[23:38] <Ranger15> itaylor57,  3.19.0-20-generic     for me
[23:39] <itaylor57> well that just changed today 3.19.0-21-generic
[23:39] <platzhirsch> There was a problem during do-release-upgrade, it seems to be still running how can I attach to the window again? (I am sshing)
[23:40] <Ranger15> hmm
[23:40] <[Saint]> remote release upgrade.
[23:40] <[Saint]> ...someone's keen.
[23:41] <Ranger15> I am going to read about the 20 to 21 difference's.
[23:41] <[Saint]> platzhirsch: unless you happened to be running it in screen I'm not entirely confident you even /can/.
[23:41] <Ranger15> itaylor57,  but you have been running it for awhile with the card right
[23:41] <itaylor57> Ranger15: i had no issues on the previous kernel
[23:41]  * [Saint] runs all his ssh sessions in screen for precisely this reason
[23:41] <Ranger15> thats what I thought
[23:42] <Ranger15> what kind of hardware? if you dont mind me asking
[23:42] <[Saint]> If you're using screen it is really trivial to reattach a detached head.
[23:42] <[Saint]> Without it...dunno man.
[23:42] <Ranger15> I have system76 laptop
[23:42] <itaylor57> i am on a system 76 laptop
[23:42] <Ranger15> whoa
[23:43] <itaylor57> glago ultrapro
[23:43] <itaylor57> galogo
[23:43] <platzhirsch> [Saint]: yeah but it looked like it started a screen session anyway
[23:43] <Ranger15> k wierd thats freaky
[23:43] <itaylor57> can't seem to type
[23:44] <[Saint]> platzhirsch: you can check pretty easily
[23:44] <Ranger15> I just got there low end one but maxed it all out. Lemur with 16G ram 256ssd w.1TB ata
[23:44] <[Saint]> platzhirsch: do "screen -ls"
[23:44] <Ranger15> Maybe the hardware and the card dont like each other.
[23:46] <[Saint]> platzhirsch: if there is a detached session running, you can force it to reattach by (I /think/) "screen -d -r"
[23:46] <Ranger15> itaylor57,  I have had the issue since day one. And have been working Make and S76 to fix it. Nothing yet has helped
[23:46] <Ranger15> at S76
[23:46] <platzhirsch> [Saint]: thanks
[23:47] <[Saint]> Ah, sorry, its 'screen -D'
[23:47] <[Saint]> Glargh, nope, I was right the first time.
[23:47] <[Saint]> Whoops.
[23:47] <[Saint]> Either way the first step is checking if there's acutally an available session to reattach.
[23:48] <platzhirsch> I think I broke it lol
[23:48] <Ranger15> itaylor57, I get rfkill hard block after suspend. Like a physical switch has been turned off. But there is no switch.
[23:48] <[Saint]> screen -list or screen -ls will tell you if there's a session available.
[23:48] <[Saint]> platzhirsch: I must say you're mighty confident for doing a remote relase upgrade, lol.
[23:48] <platzhirsch> [Saint]: how else would you do an upgrade of a VPS? :D
[23:48] <[Saint]> I'm not meaning to laugh at your misfortune. Sorry.
[23:49] <platzhirsch> it's fine, nothing on that server
[23:49] <EriC^^> platzhirsch: you're doing a do-release-upgrade?
[23:49] <[Saint]> Generally speaking, I don't. I just drop out ~ and my configs and spin up a new instance.
[23:49] <platzhirsch> EriC^^: yes
[23:50] <EriC^^> platzhirsch: what version are you currently running?
[23:50] <platzhirsch> 13.04
[23:50] <EriC^^> ok, did you fix the sources.list ?
[23:51] <platzhirsch> no
[23:51] <EriC^^> !eolupgrades | platzhirsch
[23:51] <EriC^^> platzhirsch: you'll have to upgrade to 13.10 first, then 14.04
[23:51] <platzhirsch> I think that was what is was doing. In any case I need to rebuild the partition now anyway :)
[23:52] <EriC^^> rebuild the partition?
[23:52] <[Saint]> You basically just told him what he was already doing in a more convoluted fashion.
[23:53] <EriC^^> [Saint]: making sure he knows he has to upgrade to 13.10 first, and the sources.list are required
[23:53] <Flynn> Could anyone help me with a screen brightness problems? I've tried everything and if my charging cable is not plugged in, my screen dims after 10 seconds of no movement without fail. very annoying!
[23:53] <platzhirsch> EriC^^: I can't ssh anymore to the box
[23:53] <EriC^^> platzhirsch: after doing what?
[23:53] <[Saint]> do-release-upgrade would have done that anyway, no?
[23:54] <EriC^^> [Saint]: no, you have to modify the sources.list
[23:55] <[Saint]> Then one would posit do-release-upgrade to be largely broken by design. :-S
[23:57] <OerHeks> I would ask my VPN provider for upgraded image, as VPN images usually are heavily tweaked.
[23:58] <EriC^^> yeah what OerHeks said, the VPS sometimes make it very hard to upgrade too
[23:58] <[Saint]> yeah, like I said I'd just drop out ~ and my configs and get the provider to spin up a new instance
[23:58] <platzhirsch> 15.04 or 14.04 for the new image? LTS or bleeding edge?
[23:58] <EriC^^> Flynn: try gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim false
[23:58] <EriC^^> platzhirsch: 14.04
[23:59] <[Saint]> Depends what you want to achieve.
[23:59] <[Saint]> (and arguably 15.04 isn't bleeding edge but +1 seems to be a curse word here)
[23:59] <JinjaNinja> Hello all, I have JACK audio and guitarix for use with my acoustic electric guitar on my linux computer. In the Mic jack, I've got an aux cord plugged in, and on the other end of the aux cord, I've got an aux >> Quarter-inch. The aux >> Quarter inch plugs into my acoustic electric guitar. This should work, right?
[23:59] <platzhirsch> achieve?
[23:59] <JinjaNinja> Linux Ubuntu, btw
